THE Indianapolis Sentinel of this morning has the following about Cal. Wagner's celebrated minstrel troupe:
Cal. Wagner's Minstrels opened to a fine audience, last evening, and gave an excellent entertainment. The troupe is composed of talented performers, each one being an article in his lino. Thirteen people were on the stage in the first part and made atine appearance in their tasty dress. Happy Cal. and Lew. Iiallett occupied the ends, and created roars ol'laughter by their witticisms. Cal. is one of the best comedians in the business, and an enthusiastic admirer of the Pan Handle Route. The vocal quartette and the orchestra are considerably above the average of those connected with minstrel troupes, and made some ver3r enjoyable music. Harry Robinson extracted sweet harmony from his silver horns, and Goss and "llallet executed several songs and dances in a very clever manner. McCallister's bonosoio was some "great shakes," and the dancing and singing of Master George was heartily applauded. As for the wind-up, well—"You know how it is yourself."

TIGHTER THAN HIS SKIN.—A leading up-town "swell" rushed into his tailor's the other afternoon boiling over in a "fine frenzy" of despair, because a pair of pantaloons, which he had ordered in anticipation of a fashionable party that evening, proved to be much too small for him. "Look there he shouted, holding up a garment of rather attenuated proportions. "Who do you think could ever squeeze into them "They was made accordiu' to orders," rejoined the tailor, with a coolness as remarkable as his grammar. "Made according to fiddlesticksl" exclaimed the other, "You couldn't draw them over a shadpole." "Can't help it. My orders was to fit 'em tight as the skin." 'What of that? you idiot! I can sit down in my skin, but d—u me if I can in these breeches
The tailor "rested."

The next effort of this kind, will be a grand Strawberry Festival, if old Jack Frost didn't interfere with their arrangements by gently nipping that luscious fruit in the bud, in which event the enteprise will also be nipped in the bud.

DEAR MARY I
I
never wrote a letter be
fore, and don't know just how to begin it but I know lots of boys who do write letters to the girls, and I'm most as big as they are. Tommy Jones said he had got a letter from somebody I teased him to lot me see it in taking it from his pocket it fell into a mud-puddle. I never so tickled in my life but he cried like everything.
like you real well, for you area
Democrat, and Old School Baptist, and have been to the city. I saw you at church last Sabbath. You have a new bonnet. I like new bonnets and some time, you know, I shall get you a new bonnet almost every day. I shall learn to build houses, and you can wash the dishes and make pan-cakes. I like pancakes don't you? I don't like molasses a bit it is real'nasty stuff. I hope you don't like it either, for I shall not have a bit in our house, and it wouldn't look well to quarrel about molasses and I wouldn't strike a girl when she's a woman when I get some money I'm going to buy yousome cologne.
I
shall turn some out for
me, so when I come to see you can perfume my handkerchief. I can't write any more now.. The school 'mam'is looking this way. You see, she don't know what love is."if you haven't any paper, I'llgive you a leaf out of my new reader.

Mayor over Robertson, Democrat, by 197 majority—a Republican gain of 193 ov^r our majority of two years ago.
COVINGTON, May 2.—At the municipal election in this city to-day the Republicans made handsome gains. The town has hitherto been shown to be ten to one in favor of the Democrats. Now the Republicans elcct the Marshal by 34 majority, one of the five Councilmen, and one other of doubtful politics and lost the Clerk by only four votes.
GREENCASTLE, May 2.—The Republican ticket was elected to-day by a majority of 113. Morrison (Republican) received 122 votes for Councilman Lane (Democrat) GS. In the second Ward Braman (Republican) received 79 ITanna, (Independent Republican) 51. In the third Ward Broekway (Republican) received 108 Hammond (Independent Republican) 77. A decided Republican gain. Vote light.
CONNERSVILLE, May 2.—Our city election to-day was a quite but determined contest, and a full vote was polled. We have elected our entire city ticket on a square political issue. Every Ward is Republican bya handsome majority, and wo have elected a Republican Mayor by 88 majority. Last May the Democrats elected a Mayor.by 94 majority, giving us a Republican gain in the neighborhood of 100.
MADISON, May 2.—To-day the city of Madison elects the Democratic city ticket by about the usual majority. Wheadon, Republican, the present incumbent, is defeated for Marshal by Nocholas Klein, Democrat. For Council—Kirk, Democrat, First Ward, 37 majority.

The above, with six Councilmen holding over, makes the Council stand five Republicans and seven Democrats. Last year the Board stood four Republicans to eight Democrats.
GREENSBURG, May 2.—More interest has been manifested in the municipal election here to-day than ever heretofore. Christopher Shane, independent Republican for Mayor, was elected over John E. Pemberton, the regular Republican nominee, by a majority of fiftysix. The reason of this may be found in the fact that the convention was packed by a clique, whose actions have become distasteful to the people. We gain one Councilman in the First "Ward. The city and county are sound Republican, but are down
011
cliques.
CRAWFORDSVJLLE, May 2.—The city election to-day created more excitement than any ever held. Our city was always Republican, but politics did not enter into the contest. The fight was over the erection of a $30,000 school building. The friends of the measure succeeded in electing the following Councilmen: Lucien A. Foote, Robert E. Bryan and David Barter.
LAFAYETTE, May 2.—'The Republicans are wild with excitement to-night. The Republicans have carried five of the six wards for Councilmen, and the "ballots have been nearly all counted, giving the Republicans their entire city ticket by from 150 to 200 majority. The ballots yet to count will not change tiie result. The Republicans are parading the streets with bands and joiil'ying generally. It has been well fought by both parties.
LOGANSPORT, May 2.—The Republican Mayor is elected by nine majority. Republican gain of three hundred. There is a Republican City Council. The first Republican Mayor in six years.
INDIANAPOLIS, May 3.—A dispatch to the Journal lrom Anderson, Ind., says Mr. J. G. Stilwell, President of the First National Bank, and one of our most prominent and esteemed citizens, died at his residence Monday night, of apoplexy. He went home Monday evening apparently in his usual health, and stopping but a
moment
in the house, passed out
into the back yard, and was gone so long that his wife became alarmed, and caused search to be made, which resulted in his being found dead, apparently having died without a struggle. He was father of the Hon. Thomas N. Stilwell, and Mrs. Gen. S. F. Carey.
The Discovery of Steam.
The writings of Salomen de Caus were held, says the English Magazine, in much estimation among learned men during the whole of the seventeenth century. He had, however, been anticipated in the discovery of steam for the propelling of large bodies, for on the 17th of April, 1543, the Spaniard Don Blasco de Garay launched a steam vessel at Barcelona, in presence of the Emperor Charles V. It was an old ship of two hundred tons, called the Santissima Trinidad, which had been fitted up for the experiment, and which moved at the rate of ten miles an hour. The inventor of this first steamer was looked upon as an enthusiast, whose imagination had run mad, and his only encouragement was a donation of 200,000 maravedis from his sovereign, but the Emperor no more dreamed of his using this discovery than did Napoleon I., three centuries later, when the ingenious Fulton suggested to him the application of steam to navigation. It is well known that Fulton was not permitted to make an essay of this new propelling force before the French Emperor. So, then, we must date the fact of the introduction of steam navigation as far back as 1543 anterior to the discovery of Solomon de Caus in 1615, to the Marquis of Worcester in 1663, to Captain Savary in 1693, to Dr. Papin in 1695, and to Fulton and others, who all lay claim to the original idea. But perhaps we may be wrong in denying originality to these men, for we have no proof that either of them had any knowledge of the discoveries of his predecessors.
How Monkeys are Captured. Monkeys are pretty common, yet as all the families are so remarkably cunning, has it ever occurred to the reader how they are taken Pitfalls will take a lion, and the famished monarch will, after a few days' starvation, dart into a cage containing food, and thus be secured. But how are monkeys caught The ape family resembles man. Their vices are human. They love liquor, and fall.

TERRE HAUTE. IND.. WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 3, 1871. NO. 286.
In Darfour and Sennaar, the natives make a fermented beer, of which the monkeys are passionately fond. Aware of this, the natives go to the parts of the forest frequented by the monkeys, and set on the ground calabashes full of the enticing liquor. As soon as the monkey sees and tastes it, ho utters loud cries of joy that soon attract his comrades. Then an orgie begins, and then in a short time they show all degrees of intoxication Then the negroes appear. The few who come too late to get .fuddled, escape The drinkers are too far gone to distrust them, but apparently take them for larger species of their own genus. The negroes take some up, and these begin to weep and cover them with maudlin kisses. When a negro takes one to lead him off, the nearest monkey will cling to the one who thus finds a support, and endeavor to go off also. Another will grasp at him, and so on until the negro leads a staggering line of ten or a dozen tipsy monkeys. When finally brought to the village, they are securely caged and gradually sobered down but for two or three days a gradually diminishing supply of liquor is given them, so as to reconcile them by degrees to their state of captivity.
THE various colored wools used in making the celebrated Gobelin tapes tries are arranged at the manufactory according to their shades. These shades are 28,00(J in number and, as an example of the power and delicacy of the human eyesight, it is said when two of the approximate shades are compared, the eye distinguishes them with fecility, and per ceives the interval which separates them

HAIR VISOB.
ITER'S
A I I O
'or the Renovation of ilic Hair! The Great Desideratum of the A^e!
A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hair. Faded or gray hair is 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 remain 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 off, 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
HAIR DRESSI?^G,
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.

A CARD
TO TH£ TBA»£.
In returning my thanks to the trade for their liberal patronage in the past, and soliciting a continuance of the same, I beg leave to state that, having made extensive addition to my works, and increased facilities, I am now prepared to fill orders with promptness and dispatch.
The VINEGAR Yvhich I manufacture from cider and distilled spirits is entirely PURE, and FREE FROM ALL
MINERAL. ACIDS OR OTH
ER POISONOUS INGREDIENTS SO FREQUENTLY USED IN ITS MANUFACTURE. It is both clear and of beautiful color, and made from the best and most wholesome material. I warrant it to keep pickles both clear and fresh for years, thus making their consumption not only agreeable, but healthy.
Owing to the popularity and increasing demand for my Vinegar, I shall herenfter, for the better protection of myself and my trade, in addition to my well-known brands, use also a "TRADE MARK," and all persons are hereby cautioned against using the same, and I shall prosecute any and all parties so doing to the full extent of the law. Country merchants can obtain my brands of
Pure Cider, White Wine, Double and Triple Tinegar,
Of any of the Wholesale Grocers of the city. Having been established but comparatively a short time, I yet have, by the manufacture of a superior article, created a demand which has warranted me in the erection of the largest works of its kind to be found in the United States and having the same now tlioroughly systematized, I am enabled not only to give a better and purer, but also a cheaper article to the public than any other known manufacturer. Price list furnished on application.

OFFICE OF THE WHIG COMPANY, QUIKCY, III., March 23,1871.
AFTERfor
having tested the various printing inks sized and calendered paper, which are offered in the market, we have given the preference, over all others, to the quick drying inks manufactured by the Gray sTerry Printing Ink Works, Philadelphia. When using Patent Roller Composition, in hot weather, we have sometimes found it impossible to distribute other inks, when the
Gray's Ferry wonld
work to our entire satisfaction. a!7d!2w2
