DEAD BHATS UNCI,AT.—A couple of dead heats named Nick. Goodman and Bush, disrobed themselves of their dirty linen yesterday and proceeded to make an unclad exhibition of themselves by taking a little wade in the yellow waters of the Wabash, within the corporate limits of the city. They were observed, however, by officers Gottschalk and Frame, and brought before His Honor the Mayor, who duly fined and costed them to an amount not about their trousers, which they were allowed to put on when they were arrested. They were "sent up" to board out the charge at seventy-lice cents per day. Served them right.

THE PICNIC LAST SATURDAY.—We did not attend the picnic at Collctt's Grove last Saturday. Comparatively fow of our town's people did. They were not pleasod because the party instead of stopping hero as per programme were taken live miles further on.

Wo understand that the Terre Hauteans were no botter pleased with this arrangement, as they had expected to visit our town, and instead were taken far beyond where there was no preparation made for their accomodation. No stands or seats, not even a log upon which they might rest and no water except as it was hauled for miles under the rays of a hot sun, in old barrels, which did "not improve its taste. We do not pretend to say who is to blame for this bad management, but certainly somebody is.—Newport Transcript.

The above, taken from the Transcript by Saturday's Journal, calls for a word or two in reply. The picnic was not at Collett's Grove, but on the beautiful grounds of Porter & Groendyke. A more beautiful grove than that of the latter is not to be found in Vermillion county. The assertions that our people were dissatisfied with the grounds, or any of the arrangement, is utterly without foundation, as all were well pleased and satisfied.

That there were no stands or seats, is indeed true, and who ever heard of making seats or erecting stands for a •Sunday School picnic? We suppose it is the idea of the old "fossil" who edits the Transcript, that a picniciis a given number of hours spent sitting bolt upright on hard seats in the woods. Children, however, and most of the sane members of the community, go upon picnic excursions to enjoy the freshness aud beauty of the country in a little season of relexation, and thiuk their enjoyment is not lessened but rather liightened, by sitting on the "soft yielding sward," nature's own luxuriant carpet.

The excursion was billed for the Fair Grounds, but when it was to late to recall the bill, it was found that owing to the fact that a large number of railroad hands were quartered there, it would not be best to stop at that place, but find some other grove, which resulted In the selection of the grounds where the picnic was held. This good aud sufficient reason, it would seem, would have appeared to any one of an average degree of mental acumen.

The reason that the citizens of Newport did not turn out in larger numbers to meet the excursionists remains with themselves. They were cordially invited, and those who accompanied us were most welcome.

As to there being an insufficient supply or indifferent quality of water, the lirst is untrue, and if there is any truth in the latter, the editor of the Transcript is the last man to make a general remark —as one of his own townsmen was intrusted with that part of the affair, and was paid enough to have enabled him to dig a well and buy the ice to cool the water. When the editor of the Transcript again assails in such a wholesale manner the character of such a pleasant excursion as the late Sunday School picnic, we hope he will first acquaint himself with the facts, and not write With such an entire disregard of truth.

Live Weight of Animals.

The amount of meat obtained from a domestic animals sold by its live weight is quite variable. From statistics derived from the public slaughter houses of Paris and Brussels, it appears that certain animals yield as much as seventy per cent, of meat, whileotheis give only fifty per cent. The mean weight of meat produced is calculated at fifty-eight per cent, of the live weight in beef cattle. In the case of sheep the proportion if from forty to fifty per cent. It appears that the different products from oxen aud sheep are as follows:

An ox of the live weight of 1,332 pounds, yields—meat,

ALEX ANDER HAMILTON once said to an intimate friend "Men give me credit for genius. All the genius I have lies just in this: When 1 have a subject in hand I study it profoundly. Day and ni"ht it is before me. I explore it in all its° bearings. My mind becomes Pervaded with it. Then the effort which I

make

the people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought." It is to labor, and labor oufy, that man owes everything possessed of an exchangeable value. Labor is the talisman that has raised him from the condition of the savage that has changed the desert and forest into cultivated fields that has covered the earth with cities, the ocean with ships that has given us plenty, comfort and elegance, instead of want, misery and barbarism.

THE number of drummers or commercial travelers sent from New York city is estimated at 26,000, their salaries and commissions at $1,500 a year, amount to 500 000. If to this be joined their traveling expenses—$4 a day—estimating that they are on the road 150 days out of the 365, $1,500,000 must be added,

There are rumors of awful cruelties by the Versaillists, who are reported to have shot men, women and children found with arms in their hands.

Provision trains are entering the city. There is great rejoicing within and without the city for the termination of the struggle.

VERSAILLES, May 28.—The remaining insurgents surrendered unconditionally, at nine o'clock this morning.

The slaughter 011 Saturday night was awful. Altogether the suppression of the Commune has cost over sixty thousand lives and the destruction ot a third of Paris.

LONDON, May 28.—The Observer says 110 confidence should be put in the rumors of Cabinet changes. They have no foundation.

PITTSTON, May 28.—All the men in the mines (thirty-eight in number) have been brought up—eighteen dead.

At half-past twelve last night parties succeeded in effecting an entrance to the bottom of the shaft, and brought to the surface Andrew Morgan. They also found Hiram Curtis, dead, lying with his face in the water.

At 12:42 they sent up word that the men had barricaded themselves in and sent up a cage for men and tools.

This morning the excitement at the shaft was greater than ever. Up to 8 o'clock twenty-four men had been brought to the top, of which number six were dead. All were insensible when brought out. One or two have so far recovered as to be able to give an account of themselves. Morgan, who was first discovered, is still alive, though his recovery is yet doubtful. He is still alive though unconscious.

The exploring parties are compelled to proceed with the utmost caution, and frequently brought out in an asphyxiated condition, from the foul gasses.

At 10 o'clock A. M. thirty men have been brought out, ten of whom were dead, and at 12 o'clock not more than one or two remained in the mine.

Every one of the men brought up for the past two hours was found stone dead. The excitement is almost indescribable. Thousands of people crowded around the mouth of the pit, and iu their eagerness to see and hear were with difficulty kept outside of the rope which was stretched around the shaft.

At the time of the ignition of the upper part of the shaft, yesterday, the shifts miners were being changed, and many were standing, and a few others, relieved by their companions, were coming out. The alarm being given to the eugineer, McPermott, he at once communicated warning of the danger to the bottom of the mine, and began to hoist the carriage, bringing, with the first four trips, several men. In the three succeeding trips 110 arrivals were reported, and while the eighth trip was being made the rope slipped off' the pulley, and all further means of escape was beyond a possibility.

At one time a young lad at the bottom of the shaft, two hundred and eighty feet down saw a nervous (witching of the bell wire which the bell refused to respond to aud suspicious of some disastrous accident immediately ran into the east gangway several hundred feet and warned his brother of the circumstances. These two with Mr. Evans, were the last to ascend from the pit. In an hour and a quarter the breaker had burned to the ground, aud men of all conditions in life began removing the half consumed timbers, that obstructed the passage to the mouth of the shaft. No water, but from a small well, being available, it was drawn in wagons aud barrels from the river, some distance. Telegrams were also dispatched to the Seranton and

Wilkesbarre flre departments for assistance. A Seranton steamer arrived at quarter past three o'clock, and about the same time come a hose oompany ffrm Pittston1 The Wilkesbarrfe steamer followed soon after. By five o'clock the water had cooled the iron aud wood near the shaft, and preparations were made

clear the mouth.

In the mean time hundreds of women and children had congregated near the scene of disaster, and their heartrending cries pierced the air. At forty minutes past 6 o'clock the mouth of the mines had been sufficiently cleared to let down a dog. He was kept down the first time for three minutes, and let down again, staying five minutes. The dog came up alive.

At 7 P. M. timber was brought to the mouth of the miue and a temporary frame-work made to cover the shaft. A platform carriage was constructed and preparation made to enter. At 8 P. M. two men (David Harris and William Warren) were let down about twenty feet. They had light, bell, rope, water and tools. They removed the burned timber and constructed a partition to secure an up aud down current of air. A few minutes previous to this William Law was let down by a rope, seventyfive feet, into the shaft, but immediately gave the signal for hoisting. A strong current of air came from the opening, carrying with it a thick smoke and obnoxious gases. Preparations for the rescue of the miners continued to be pushed with the greatest vigor till half-past 12, when, as above stated, the first mail was reached.

The fire originated from friction of the woodwork of the breaker. Martin Cox, one the miners taken out of the mine alive, makes the following statement:

We went in at seven o'clock A. M. My brother Robert cut through from one airway to another, and turned on the gas, and six miners came out with him before their shaft was closed up. The air was so bad they could not work at all. This was about fifteen minutes before the fire, and seven miners came to the top a few minutes before the fire was discovered. The first intimation of the fire was a sound through the mine as if there was an explosian of gas. A11 English miner said there is fire. We were then working about fifty yards from the bottom of the shaft, on the west side. I then ran to the bottom of the shaft, and saw fire coming down. Iran back to my comrades, and told them we were all lost the shaft is on fire. We were seven iu all. We then ran to the foot of the shaft, and the burning timber coming down, threw 011 water to put out the fire, and the smoke became so in. tense that we were nearly suffocated. Dense volumes come down the shaft and filled the place. We then ran over to the west side in the direction of the river bridge, clown the slope, and got in at the door, with eleven others, making eighteen altogether in that place. The smoke came in upon us so badly that we gathered up a gob of fine stuff' from the track and plastered up the cracks of the door, and also stuffed cloths in the hole, which stopped the smoke for some time. We now had time for thought and reflection. ISTo one expected to see daylight, and all said it was a second Avondale. We all sang hymns and prayed God in His mercy to save us, as we felt doomed, and beyond human aid. We ran back and forth through gangways for fresh air. At a quarter past three o'clock P. M., Patrick Farley fell to the ground twice, and was found dead when men came to the place after the fire.

I then went over to the west side for my coat, to help to stop out the smoke, as we would all be suffocated very soon. The men that passed me, carrying back their comrades, who were dying in their arms. More men were outside the doors, crying out in distress and anguish, calling upon God for safety and succor. None expected to come out alive. The mules were kicking and neighing. A boy told his father, with horrible crying, we will come out safe, and if we must die let us die like men. Father and son both came out alive.

At half-past seven P. M. I became insensible, and remained so until I was brought out by brother Robert, about five o'clock on Sunday morning.

Cox is an intelligent Irishman, aged about twenty-two years. WASHINGTON,

D. C.t May 27.—The

curtain fell this afternoon on the Senatorial inquisition. The farce grew feeble toward the close. On the Senate's opening, at noon, Mr. Sherman argued at some length against the Senate's power to hold a witness after adjournment. Mr. Conkling then took the floor to make another speech iu support of an already "lost cause." This time he avoided all personalities, and confined himself to arguing iu support of the pretense set up that the Seuate has a right to imprison at its sweet will, in session or out, any one who may fail to answer any question propounded, whether it relates to the Senate or not. Mr. Conkling based his plea on the practice of the House of Lords, and altogether he indicated a very lordly id|a of.his prerogatives.

Mr. Sumner replied to Mr. Conkliug's aigument at length, and effectively answered the attempt to establish such a pretense by English precedents. His profound knowledge of Euglish and American constitutional and parliamentary law and history came into play, aud precedent after precedent, and citation after citation, were given. Iu closing he denied utterly that the practice of English Peers was the proper guide for an American Senate. This was a Government of defined powers in all its parts, and nowhere had the Senate the right claimed by Mr. Conkling.

Messrs: Edmonds and Howe spoke on the other side, the latter at length and bitterly. Mr. Bayard followed in support of Mr. Sumner. The vote was taken about 5 o'clock.

Mr. Nye's amendment, to turn the prisoners over to the tender mercies of the law, was voted down, and Mr. Wil-: son's resolution to release being reached, the vote Stood 23 to 13.

So the correspondents were released after the adjournment, which occurred after a brief .executive session.

Messrs. %hlte and Ramstlell were the

recipients of many congratulations. Their rooms were crowded all day with visitors, among them being many ladies and distinguished public men. They have received several invitations to public dinners, &c., but have declined them all, preferring to quietly resume their professional labors.

WASHINGTON, May 28.—Dr. Bliss reports to-night that Vice President Colfax is somewhat cheerful, and that he sat up for two hours to-day, is growing stronger, and that by Thursday next he will be able to start for his home in Indiana. Colonel Thomas A. Scott has arranged to transport him thither over the Pensylvania Central and other railroads in his private car, and the invitation has been accepted by the Vice President.

Vice President Colfax to-day in reply to a dispatch from Mr. Whitelaw Reid, of New York, says "WASHINGTON, May 28.—The attack which prostrated me was more violent than I supposed on Monday, but since Tuesday evening the symptoms are favorable and with God's providence I hope for an entire recovery. As I telegraphed you I am better than at any hour since the attack."

TOPEKA, KANSAS, May 29.—The United States Circuit Court on Friday, decided in the ejectment case of Joy verses the settlers on the Cherokee neutral lands. First, that the treaty of 1835 and the Patent office in 1835, gave a fee simple title to the Cherokee Indians of the neutral lauds.

Second. The Indians hold the fee or the ordinary passing. The treaty of 186(5 and 1803, gave full title to the purchaser. tinder the provisions such was plainly the intent of the treaty making power.

Third. That the treaty making power had lull authority to alienate the public domain, and titles so acquired were perfect and indefeasible.

Fourth. That to say the Government would sell this land for nearly a million dollars, pay the money to the Indians and then make the Government a party to an error.

Fifth. Whether the sale to Mr. Joy was regular or not under the treaty of 1850, the treaty of 1808 covered all defects and made the title perfect.

Sixth. That under all the facts and circumstances, the title of J. V. Joy to the land in the question is a complete and perfect title and can not be successfully assailed.

A demurrer to the answer was sustained. MEMPHIS, May 29.—A freshet at Plot Springs, Arkansas, washed away the Hall House, California House aud other buildings,besides doing other great damage.

..Cultivate the Beautiful.

The prime necessities of life with the great mass of our people seems to be a substantial living, comfortable house and a few comforts. After these have been secured mere begins astruggle for wealth, and all the higher and finer instincts of the nature are suppressed in the ardor of this contest. It is unfortunate that this should be the case. There is a higher and cheaper pleasure to be found than either the pursuit or possession of riches yield. There are simple and easily obtained luxuries within the reach of every family, whether they be rich or poor, and we only deny ourselves a large amount of happiness when we neglect these in pursuit of those grand and expensive ones that wealth can afford. The cultivation of flowers is one of these cheap luxuries. It requires a little labor, a little care, and that is all. In return for this cheap investment, it adds beauty to the home, refinement to the inmates, and begins an elevating education that is almost certain to lead to higher pursuits and positions.

Persons love to look and admire flowers, even when they are not willing to cultivate them and the front yard that is decorated with borders and beds of petunias, pansies, verbenas and hyacinth with the porch, whose columns are twined with honeysuckles and jessamine, will charm the passers-by and impress him with the high estimate of the fair hands that cultivated aud train these flowers while a ragged unadorned house vard tells of indolence, rudeness and a lack of all gentle tastes. To plant the seeds, to watch till they thrust their tender sprouts into the air, to stir the kind soil around their roots, to stimulate their growth, to train them and to see them unfold their wealth of flowers—this is dealing with nature, and imbibing her own gentleness, generosity and tenderness. It enables the nature and makes it truthful, honorable and innocent.

Strange Habits of Brooklyn Politicians. A well known Brooklyn politician, noted for his waggery, stopped the conductor of an Albany bound train on which he was journeying last winter, and asked innocently if the next station was Poughkeepsie "No," said the conductor. On, nis next fare collecting round the conductor again asked if the train was nearing Poughkeepsie to which he again replied negatively. Again and again, as the official made his rounds the same question was asked by the anxious passenger, until at last the man of checks replied with a little irritation in his tone "No, sir we are not yet near your stopping place. Pray trust to me, and I will let you know when we shall get tboro

The passenger thereupon relapsed into silence, and the flic nil, engrossed with other duties, forgot his case until the train had left Poughkeepsie about half a mile to the rear, when, recollecting himself, he hastily backed the cars to the station,aud rushing up to the troublesome passenger cried out: "This is Poughkeepsie. Hurry up and get off. We are behind time." "Oh, thank you," deliberately drawled the quondam questioner "but IJam going through. My daughter cautioned me particularly to take a pill at Poughkeepsie. That's all."

The pill was taken—and so was the joke—by the passengers.—Brooklyn Union. IM*'"

THE

Supreme Court of Illinois has laid down some principles definitive of courtship, which are of mucli importance for the young generation to understand. The Court as definitive of a legal "engagement:" "The frequents visits, the intimacy for months, the numerous letters, the expressions of endearment all proves the existence of the relation. An express promise need not be proved. A mutual engagement may be inferred from -constant and devoted attentions, gladly Welcomed, reciprocal affection, and the interchange of letters, expressive nf onriiMtlnVP." i.

THE Greek Chapel, in New York has been made the recipient of a magnificent present from Lady Anna de AksakofF, of St. Petersburg, formerly one of the maids of honor to the Empress, but uow attached to the Imperial liousehold"in another capacity! and renowned alike for her surpassing beauty and her piety. The gift consists of three gorgeous and elaborate pieces of gold embroidery, on heavy and lustrous crimson velvet, the color always used in the vestments of the priests aud altar-coverings of the Greek Church. Two are covers for the chalice and the holy desk, and are in the form of a Greek cross, and the third, a vail for all the sacred vessels, which is even more elaborate, delicate and suburb both in it, design and handiwork, than the others. The three coverings cost several thousand dollars the lace-work, requiring months to manufacture, is of the purest refined gold.

MRS. LUCKETIA MOTT continues to be a reformer among her sect, the Quakers, though well nigh eighty years old. Thus, iu making a rag carpet as a final present to each of her chiidren, she protests against the dullness of Quaker coloring by working into them all sorts of bright rags and again she is seeking—so far unsuccessfully, however—to intrdouce music as oneof the studies and entertainments in the special Quaker schools of Pennsylvania.
