The Brooklyn
Union
solves the mys
tery of the beautiful lady, who committed suicide at the Stevens House, at New York, by declaring that her name is Hoffington that she lived in Brooklyn, and was driven to the rash act by the neglect and abuse of her husband.
A ratherserious joke was recently played upon the North Carolina Legislature. One of the members died, and it was resolved to convey the remains home at the expense of the State and when they inquired into the matter, it was found he resided in Vermont.
The other night, as Edwin Booth, as Richelieu, had finished the lines, "France, my mistress, my wedded wife, who shall proclaim divorce 'twixt thee and me?" a deep voice from the audience answered "Chicago!" Then followed what the Reporters Call "renewed laughter."
The Faribault (Minnesota) Leader says of a marriage there the other day: "After the ceremony the friends pressented the happy bride with one dozen beautiful oranges, one dozen fine lemons, live pounds of new figs, five pounds of spleuded assorted candies, and six cans of fresh oysters."
A New York paper says that if the same rule had been applied to the Putnam murder case that was lately adopted -in South Carolina when twelve black men were hung for the murder of

Elder Knapp, the noted revivalist, is exciting a theological fever in the towns of Massachusetts. InPittsfield, recently, he is reported to have advertised that he would furnish a "free pass to glory but very few of the unrighteous population seemed anxious to be "dead-lreaded" on his train.

Cincinnati's credit must be good in the East. Two prspositions have already been received from banking firms in Now York to take the $600,000 worth of improvement bonds shortly at as high a rate as the city can get elsewhere.
The jury that tried Mrs. Fair was impanuelled 28 days, and the whole cost of the trial including jurors' board bills, officers' i^laries, pay of policemen, &c., foots up 15,300. Mrs. Fair's bill is said to amount to $12,000, including $5,000 for her senior counsel. One of the daily papers sums up its expenses for publishing the proceedings, which occupied one hundred and twelve columns of small type, at $1,435. -Such of the California dailies as were unable or too "frugal" to make this expenditure, denounce the publication of the testimony as wicked and demoralizing.
.JUDGE PLANTZ, who presides over the eourts at Pensacola, Florida, is a Republican—a son of Mr. Plantz, late a Republican Representative from Ohio. In his charge to the Grand Jury, 6'nly two weeks ago, Judge Plantz used the following significant language. Being an honest man and an honest Judge, he tells the truth
ilIt
has been said that the South is disorderly, and that the lives of men who avow an adherence to one of the contending political parties of the country are unsafe here. I am happy to be able to declare here, and thus publicly and officially, that I have no occasion to call the attention of the Grand Jury of this county to any special violation of law and order, and to bear my official testi•W* mony to the peace and decorum, which prevail thronghout the limits of the jurisdiction of this court."

The spectators, of course!
A FASHIONABLE amusement for gentlemen in Indianapolis is to take a seat in the Union depot and watch the trains, so their wives may not skip the flail.—Chicago Times.
Chicago husbands are only too anxious to have their wives "skip out," and that's the difference.

They are about all manufactories, however, and manufacture the only genuie Havana indulged in by the shoddy "young bloods" of the Capital, notwithstanding there were six hundred thousand cigars manufactured in the Indianapolis district last month, according to the internal revenue report.
WHAT geologists these Terre Haute journalists must be. We suppose that the next discovery of the Express will be the tooth ot a Dinothterum, and the GAZETTE will declare it to be a piece of Noah's ark. —Brazil Miner.
The latest discovery made by Terre Haute journalistic geologists is that the editor of the Miner is a very antiquated specimen.
THANKS.—We wish to return oursiucerest thanks to ex-Mayor Cookerly, and all the city officers, for their courtesy to us in accommodating us with items in their respective spheres. We shall ever remember with pleasure on§,and all. To John B. Tolbert, late Deputy City Clerk, are we indebted for many favors when sitting by his'side taking reports of the City Council, for all of which he will accept our thanks. We shall ever remember him as a most efficient officer and accommodating gentleman. To exMarshal Whiteman also are we indebted for many kindnesses. May they all "live long and be happy."
SACRTLIGIOUS THIEVES are creating quite a sensation in this city and Riley township. A few evenings since some scoundrel or scoundrels, not having the fear of the Lord in their hearts, effected an entrance to a church in Riley township, and abstracted therefrom six lamps, a number of hymn books and prayer books.
Sunday morning it was discovered that some such villain or- villians had "gone through" the Presbyterian Church, on Seventh street, in this city, to the extent of quite a number of books—"cleaning out" two shelves entirely. When thieves become so lost to all fear of the present and future as to steal church property, they are beyond redemption, and should be forever shut up in a penitentiary, as being unworthy of pardon and as unsafe to roam at large.
"THE OLD AND THE NEW."—The old police force retire to-day and the new enter upon the discharge of their duties. The new force will consist of the following named gentlemen: Day Policeman, Thomas Steward Night Police, Seth Weeden, Albert Buckingham, Thomas Brasher, George Shewmaker, Thomas Frame, Louis Gotschalk, Wm. A. Gilford, Wm. Standeford, Josiah McKinny and Joseph Staley. Luther Gil more, Chief.
The Chief of Police, Luther Gilmore, was formerly acting Chief of Police, under the last Republican city administration, we understand, and made a very efficient and able officer, and his appointment or election by the Council gives very great satisfaction. We wish him abundant success in his position, and think he will fill it to the entire satisfaction of our citizens and honor to himself and the force io general. Of the rest of the new force we cannot speak, as we don't know them. We predict for them success, however. To the members of the retiring force, one an.I all, we wish to tender our sincere thanks for the kindness and courtesy with which we have ever been treated by them in the way of items, and, in short, in all our dealings and intercourse with them, as the local of the GAZETTE. May they prosper, whatever their vocacation in life, and may they secure positions in which they can make better wages and not have to endure so many hardships, is the wish of the local editor of the GAZETTE.
CENTENARY SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC. —As will be seen by reference to our Amusement column, the members of Centenary Church Sunday School will give one of their ever successful picnics at Newport on Saturday of this week. Tickets are now being sold by quite a number of parties besides at the places announced in the advertisement, who are calling upon the citizens and thus giving all a chance to attend. Five splendid coaches have been chartered, aH of which will be drawn over the splendid new E., T. H. &C. R. R., by a special engine, leaving the Union Depot at 8 A. M. Saturday. The picnic will be held at the Fair Grounds in Newport—a most beautiful and appropriate place—where there will be found plenty of pure good water and dii abundance of shade trees, and in fact everything to render the occasion one long to be remembered with inexpressible pleasure by all \vho are fortunate enough to be in attendance. The rates for the round trip have been put down to the unprecedented low price of only SOcts. for adults and 40cts. for chil dren underl2 years of age. Business men who have business there will consult their interests by making their arrangements such as will admit of their going on this exxursion and enjoying a pleasant time', aside from being thus enabled to make tl\p trip for a nijere nominal consideration.
Persons who take provisions with them (and we trust that will include all) will deliver them at the Union Depot, where they will be taken in charge by a caoomittee. The children who wish to go will please meet at Centenary Church between seven and half-past seven o'clock Saturday morning, or be at the traiu by eight o'clock, as the .train will leave promptly at that time. Parties who have croquet sets will confer a favor on the Committee of Arrangements by taking them along. Let there be a large attendance.

[Special Dispatches to the Terre Haute Gazette.] LONDON, May 15.—The Congress of
municipal deputies, called by the partisans of the Commune to meet at Bordeaux has proved a failure.
PARIS, May 15.—The Versailles forces are under the walls of Paris, exchanging shots with the insurgents, who line the ramparts from Porte De La Muette, in the Arondissemcnt Passy, to Porte D'Issy.
The Parisans have been expelled from the entrenchments between Forts Vauvres and Issy.
A Battery is erecting in the garden of the Tuilleries to pour a flank fire into the Champs Elysees. There is indubitable evidence that a wide-spread conspiracy exists in Paris for the overthrow of the Commune.
The Gardens of the Luxembourg are
rising on the part of the populace. NEW YORK, May 10.—A special, dated Paris, Sunday night, says, on Saturday Dambrowski issued orders that all officers refusing to obey the commands of superiors should be shot. He reviewed five thousand men this morning at Neuilly, and was received with great enthusiasm. After breakfast he rode to the front of Porte Mailliot, and while sitting on- his horse the Versailles soldiers fired rifles and shells at the General, without hitting him. Dombrowsiu immediately took of his hat and bowed politely to them. All the Communist soldiers who witnessed it cheered lustily.
Yesterday a grand procession of women marched through the streets of the city, headed by buglers, drummers and flags, to the Hotel de Ville, where they demanded arms. Yesterday a proclamation was issued for the organization of battalions of women immediately, for the purpose of stimulating the courage of the men. It has been ordered that all cowardly males shall be led to prison by women. The women battalions are to march against the Versailles troops.
The bombardment is exceedingly violent, and shells are falling within the city in large numbers. A heavy attack from the Versailles troops was expected yesterday.
LONDON, May 15.—The Times'special from Paris says Puet openly declares the fall of the Commune is imminent. The National Guards decline to march, and talk of opening the gates to the Versaillists. Dombrowski's orders are not obeyed.
NEW YORK, May 16.—Adispatch dated Berlin, Sunday night, says: Twentyeight Archbishops and Bishops of the Catholic Church have addressed a petition to the Emperor of Austria on the Roman question. In the petitiou the Emperor is requested to inform the King of Italy that the independence of the Pope is necessary to the Catholic Church, and to demand that Rome and suitable territory shall, be immediately returned to the Pope. The petitioners also say that it is the duty of all other Catholic powers and of Protestants, also, to make the demand.
LONDON, May 15.—TheEcho has a dispatch from Berlin which gives additional particulars of the treaty of peace negotiated at Frankfort. The document contains seventeen articles, and three supplementary clauses. The French are to restore all ships captured during the war, or to refund their value in cases where the ships have been sold. The navigation treaty of 1862 is to be maintained all duties are to be abolished in Alsace for six months.
LONDON, May 15.—Iu the House of Commons, to-night, Viscount Enfield, Under Secretary of Foreign Affairs, said the Government was not prepared to state the exact terms of the treaty of Washington, as a copy of the document had not yet been received.
Disraeli therefore postponed putting a question to the Government in relation thereto, of which he had previously given notice.
Gladstone stated that the Govern
ment
was unable to anticipate the exact time of the arrival of the treaty, but promised that it should be instantly submitted to Parliament. ,S
In the House of Lords Earl Russel gave notice of his intention to move an address to the Queen against sanctioning the ratification of the Albama treaty in case the arbitrators" are bound by rules or conditions other than the law of nations and the English municipal laws existing during the civil waT in the United States, when the alleged depredations upon American commerce were committed.
Granville defended against the criticism of Lord Stratheden, the results of the recent Conference of the Great Powers on the Eastern question, by which he affirmed a reasonable settlement of the questions in dispute had beeu secured. Russia was fully satisfied, and so are all of the Powers concerned in the new policy, under which Turkey still retained a stronger naval power in the Empire than Russia had acquired.
The Marquis of Salisbury replied to Granville, condemning the action of Government, v/hicb, he said, like America
closed to the public, and are occupied by a military force, in anticipation of a "sides, it was thought best to complet action on the treaty as soon as possible.

on the Alabama question, should have waited until the end of the pending struggle, and then demanded satisfaction from Russia for its course in reference to the treaty of Paris.
WASHINGTON, May 16.—The Senate met at eleven o'clock yesterday morning, at which time only twelve members were in their seats. After prayer and reading of the journal of Friday, Senator Cameron came into the Senate Chamber from a meeting of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and moved that the Senate go into executive session which was agreed to.
At five minutes past two o'clock the doors were opened. On motion of Mr. Scott it was resolved that the Secretary of War be requested to communicate to the Senate the final report of the Board of Engineers appointed under section 5 of the act of Congress approved July 11, 1870, to examine and report upon the bridge across the Ohio river.
On motion of Mr. Vickers it was resolved that the Committee on Judiciary be requested to examine and report whether members of the Senate are entitled to mileage at the present Special session.
The Senate then adjourned without debate. The Senate refused to take up the resolution heretofore offered providing for reporting in confidence thedebate on the Treaty of Washington by the official reporters of the Senate. It is said the report is to be subject to the future disposition by that body. One of the objections against the resolution was that the debate wfeuld thereby be prolonged, as the Senators might desire jn some future time to see their speeches in print. Be-
Mr. Cameron reported the treaty, with a favorable recommendation, and made a few remarks. He was followed by Mr. Morton ii: its support.
NEW YORK, May 16.—A Washington correspondent telegraphs that the -President has- caused orders to be issued to the officers in command in the vicinity of Spartansburg, South Carolina, to arrest ruffians who have been committing outrages there. Colonel Higgins, United State Deputy Collector, who was recently driven out of Mississippi, goes back this week, and it is understood that he will have a force sufficient to enable him to arrest those who have been resisting the laws.
A Tribune special dated Raleigh, North Carolina, May 14, says Marshal Hester, assisted by United States troops from Raleigh, arrested sixteen persons alleged to be concerned in recent Ku Klux outrages in Rutherford county. No show of resistance was made, and the accused were handed over to the Sheriff. They are well known men, and some possess considerable property. The Sheriff released them oil their personal recognizance to appear to-morrow before Commissioner Moore, at Shelby, Cleveland county. The general impression is th^t the arrests might as easily have been made without the troops. The soldiers returned to Raleigh. Governor Caldwell, of North Carolina, has issued a proclamation of warning to the Ku Klux. His arraignment of the organization is by far the severest accusation which has been made against them either at the North or South.
It is announced from Washington that the first bonds of the new five per cent, loan will be ready for the signature of the Registrar of the Treasury this morning. They will also be ready for delivery to subscribers after to-day, as rapidly as they can be prepared and forwarded by the Department. Subscriptions made good progress lastweek^ and now amountaltogether to $64,477,050.
A Washington special says the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, is said to stand four in favor and three against the High Joint Treaty.
The
Blood-Claflnscandal
fore Judge
caso was be
Ledwith
yesterday afternoon,
and proved an immense sensation. The court room was crowded. Colonel James Harvey Blood, husband of Mrs. Victoria Claflin Wciodhull Blood, was charged with attempting to kill the mother of Tennessee Claflin, and Mrs. Victoria Wood hull, feminine brokers, Bond street.
Mrs. Claflin testified that the trouble arose because her daughters and Blood, who was in business with them, Jjept no books, and she said a peanut woman would do business'better ^hat Blood threatened to kill her, and she feared he would deprive her of her freedom by causing her arrest as a lunatic. Trouble was caused Jy the witness complaining when there was no money to do marketing. At one time Blood made a rush at her, but that Mrs. Woodhull, a strong woman, when excited, caught him by the neck and threatened to put him in jail. Knew Blood iu Chicago, St. Louis, Des Moines, etc., as Dr. Harvey.
Mrs. Spears,_a daughter of Mrs. Claflin* testified there was a good deal of hard feeling between her mother, her broker sisters and Blood, and that the latter
threatened to wash his hands in mother's blood.^ 5 Colonel Blood denied all, and said he was divorced from his, first wife in 1866, and the same year married Mrs. Woodhull. From her he was divorced in 1868, ancLthat she now occupied separate rooms from him in the same house. He was in business with Vic and Tennie, and the trouble was, that some of the relatives wanted him out of the family. The case comes up again to-day. Np
LOUISVILLE, May 16.—The new time table went into operation yesterday, on all the trunk lines of railroad leading from this city. Nashville, Memphis and New Orleans trains leave at ten minutes past eight A. M., twelve, and halfpast nine P. M.
The Southern fast line train on the Short Line Road this morning made the fastest run from Louisville to Covington ever made on a Kentucky road, accom--„-v
plishing the distance, one hundred and six miles, in two hours and fifty-eight minutes. The road is in such good condition the time was made with perfect ease and safety.
CHICAGO, May 16.—Dry weather throughout Central Illinois is seriously injuring the wheat and oat crops.
At Lincoln, Logan county, Illinois, on Saturday, a fire destroyed Hungerford & Beecher's flouring mill, Atkins' Block, and Haynes' lumberyard. Loss, $20,000 partly insured.
SEVERAL Sundays ago a collection was about to be taken up in one of our churches and in the absence of one of the regular collectors, a frisky young man volunteered his services, and handled his hat with a great deal of industry and success. When he got near the door, he was about to go out, with his hat full of contributions, on his head, when the minister said, solemnly: "Young man, if you leave here with that money, you'll be damned." The young man, however, left in a hurry, and, as he shut the door behind fciim, a worthy old bachelor, with a voice in sharp, who put a dollar in the hat, piped out to the minister "Well, if he ain't gone with it, I'll be d—d !—Natchez New South.

HAIR VIGOR.
AYER'S
A I I O
For the Renovation of the 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 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 oft, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from .those deleterious substances which ojake some preparations dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a
HAIR PRESSING,
nothing else cai\ 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 perflime.

O A
TO THE TRADE.
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, 1 am now prepared to fill orders with promptness and dispatch.
The VINEGAR which I manufacture from cider and distilled spirits is entirely PURE, and FREE FROM ALL MINERAL ACIDS OR OTHER 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 hereafter, 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 extentof the law. Country merchants cau obtain my brands of
Pure Cider, White Wine, Double and Triple Yinegar,
Of any of the Wholesale Grocers of the city. Having been established but comparatively a short time, I^ et 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 thoroughly 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.
