MONDAY, JUNE 19, 1871.

THE death of Mr. Vallandigham just at this time, while in itself is much to be regretted, from a political standpoint will be attended with good results. If there is any one thing in American politics, more to be deprecated than another, it is the continued stirring up of the animosities and hatreds growing out of the rebellion. Every dictate of common sense, common humanity, and common patriotism demanded that we should begin to forget the past, and act for the present and the future. Unfortunate as the war was, still there are men high in official positions who seem determined to continually probe the wounds made by it, and hold up to the gaze of the people, all its horrors and heart rendings. Mr. Vallandigham, bold and daring as he was, had thrown the whole weight of his genius and influence against this course of political action.

He had advised the party to which he belonged, to bury the past in the red graves of the war, and take up the pres ent, and think of the future. Leaping at one masterly spring, away in front of the focilized statesmen, who had, since the war closed, governed the country, he counseled a forward movement, and all over the country the people were em bracing it. But although that move ment, so eminently right in itself and so deserving: of popular consideration and respect, still there was an odium, growing out of Mr. Vallandigham's course during the war, that seriously retarded this or any measure which he espoused* Wrong as this is in the abstract, yet it is true. The forward movement, recently taken by the Democratic party, was therefore much crippled by reason of Clement L. Vallandigham's name being so intimately connected with it. An unfortunate accident has remove him into another and we trust a better world. This impediment being thereupon removed, the greatest political movement of the times, will go more rapidly forward. Men's judgments, unfortunately, are controlled by their prejudices, and good men have refused to admit the propriety of acknowledging much of the past, as accomplished facts, on account of the dislike to those foris to permit our judgments and best impulses to be thus influenced, is apparent to every right thinking man.

A PRIVATE dispatch received at this office on Saturday moriiinj? brought the intelligence of Mr. Vallandigham's death within a few minutes after that event occurred, and several hours in advance of the regular press dispatches. In twenty minutes from the receipt of the news our extras began to circulate all over the city. 'Fifteen hundred were distributed gratuitously.—Express.

How does it happen that the Express and Journal had nothing in their columns regarding the accidental shooting of Mr. Vallandigham on Saturday morning, when the Indianapolis Journal and Sentinel—the papers which publish the Associated Press dispatches in that city —contained almost a column in regard to the same? And this morning, the two daily "luminaries" had but a few lines of the particulars of the sad tradegy, while the Indianapolis Sentinel and Journal devoted several columns thereto, all of which will be found in the columns of the GAZETTE this afternoon. Why, even our "grape vine line" is better than all of your enterprise, with the shameful. Associated Press monopoly to "back you.

In one week from to-day we hope to be able to give the newspaper readers in the city of Terre Haute, full and complete dispatches from everywhere. We will not undertake to satisfy the reader with "pony" dispatches—about half of the regular dispatches, and these almost entirely what could have been read in the Cincinnati papers the evening before

Western Union Telegraph Company with the Associated Press, which is dishonorable and disreputable to both of them, enable our two cotemporaries to effect this thing, and they had just liberality enough to do it.

In a few days we will be on an equal footing with those gentlemen, in this particular, and we propose to give the people a paper that will be worthy of them and of the city of Terre Haute. In the meantime, we will, at a proper time lay before the readers of the GAZETTE, the meanness which has characterized the telegraphic company, and the Express and Journal, in forcing on this nvople their infamous monopoly. The free, liberal minded men of the West, will not fail to put their disapprobation on this naatte"r, when it is undemtopd by them, and we hope the lime will soon auspicious to a full understanding, I

but will furnish the full and entire dis- spective abodes, but the ceremony is gen patches, as good and as complete as any erally performed elsewhere, upon the de rvf tho horn jinn liMrmnp nf t.rw received in Cincinnati, Chicago or St. Louis. And while we will be able to do this, we will not be so mean, narrowminded, parsimonious, little-souled and unmanly as to endeavor to keep any other person who may desire to start a paper, from having the advantage of these very items of news. We will give the people all the news possible so far as *we are concerned, but will be perfectly willing to let anyt one else give to the people the same news, or more, if they desire to. The course of the Express and Journal in this particular, during the three last years, is a brilliant illustration of the big "dog in the manger." They had not enough enterprise to give to their readers full and complete dispatches, and would not let any one else do it. The close monopoly of the

WE speak for the forward movement men through the columns ol' the GAZETTE. —Gazette.

A mere whisper would be sufficient for that crowd—one person, viz: Hudson.— Journal.

The obtuseness of the editor of the Journal is peculiar as well as singular. He still lights the forward movement, and refuses to regard his paper as being the mouth-piece of that portion of the Democracy who favor it. He intimates that the GAZETTE is, the medium through which that "crowd" will have to speak. We accept the intimation, and offer the columns ot the GAZETTE to all who desire to say anything in behalf of this important movement, and will also defend the movement through all time and under all circumstances. If the Terre Haute Journal does not know that the great mass of the Democratic party throughout the country are for this movement, and that five out of every seven of the Democrats in this city think that way too, some good friend ought to tell it. Home one ought to tell this Rip Van Winkle, that he is asleep on the Democratic track that the forward car is coming along at lightning speed, and that he either has to jump aboard and come right along, or be knocked headlong and run over. Take your choice "Jeemes," and don't wait long either, or you will be left so far out of sight, that it will soon require the concentrated focus of a powerful telescope to find your whereabouts. Come along, all the Democratic papers in this congressional district have already joined the advance, and you alone remain the greatest laggard on the stage.

Water Works.

In taking fifty thousand dollars of the stock in the contemplated water works, the Common Council will certainly have first a proposition from the gentlemen comprising the company which intend to build these works, stating exactly what they intend to do how many miles of of pipe is intended to be put down, what kind of works is intended to be built, the cost of the same, and when they will be built. Before any order is made taking any amount of stock, it would be well tor the Council to order that all the proceedings in relation thereto, be published, so that they can be fully understood by all the people.

A NEW YORK newspaper states that England has uttered to loan Spain $1C0,000,000, providing Cuba shall be made independent and shall bind itself not to he annexed to the United States. In the first place, the story is probably not true and, next, if it were true, England would find itself obliged to defend Cuba with force of arms against this country. We will tolerate no such impertinent interference from any power, much less from Great Britain.

War Ravages.

A French writer, estimating the approximate destruction, of life by war, since the siege of Troy, a period of about three thousand years, concludes that, during all this time, the world has not known a single year of perfect peace. His estimates of the number destroyed during the last 100 years, since 1771, sum up to a most frightful figure. The wars 400,000lives. TnostrorciVe^TUnclf"itej/ffu1 lie from 1791- to 1800 cost 4,300,000. The Napoleonic^wars swept away 2.000,000 Frenchmen, and of other nations, 3,500,000. Since 1815 France, in her various wars, including the Crimean and Italian, is minus 2,300,000. Prussia has lost, within the last hundred years, 000,000 England. 1,000,000 Russia, more thau 1,100,000

Turkey, Persia, and Greece,

1,500,000 Italy, 800,000 Austria, largely over 150,000 Spain, 450,000 the American colonies 500,000 Portugal, 110,000 the wars of the United States withiu the present century, 1,200,000.

The total loss among civilized nation*, during the century, he places at 19,840,000 and of the whole world, civilized and savage, 40,000,000. "If," he says, "people were told that the sovoreigus of Europe destroy more human lives in one month than one can see stars in the heavens iil a clear night, they Would consider it a romance yet this is but too true. In fact, the lives destroyed by the Asiatic-European governments in a single week, are as many as the stars visible in the sky for the brightest night, the mo3t exercised eye cannot discern more than 3,000 stare, and this number can only be counted under the equator, while the number of lives destroyed by the year is 180,000—that is, 15,000 per month, and 3,500 per week, the daily consumation of the God of war being 500."

One can Hardly refrain from a shudder as this result is displayed especially when we reflect that by far the larger portion, in fact almost the whole, of this wholesale slaughter has originated in personal caprice, passion, or ambition.

Matrimonial Superstitions. The recently revived custom of throw ing shoes after a newly wedded coulpe for luck is a very old one. In the Isle of Man the shoe is thrown after the bride and bridegroom as they leave their

an(

bridegroom as they leave their re

parture of the hero and heroine of the day for the honeymoon trip. In some parts of Kent the shoe-throwing does not take place until after they have gone, when the single ladies range themselves in one line, aud the bachelors range themselves in another. An old shoe is then thrown as far as the thrower's strength permits, and the ladies race after it, the winner being rewarded by the assurance that she will be married before any of her rivals. She then throws the shoe at tlie gentlemen, the one she hits laying the same pleasing unction to his heart. Something like this is practiced, too, in Yorkshire and Scotland. In Germany it used to be a rule for the bride, as she was being conducted toiler chamber, to takeoff her shoe and throw it among the guests, who battled for its possession, the successful he or she being destined to be speedily married and settled. In some places the threshold is kept warm for another bride by pouring a kettleful of warm water down on the door-step as soon as the bride and bridegroom have taken their departure the fancy being that before the water dries up another match will be made up, or "flow on," and that it will not belong beforeanother wedded couple passes over the same ground. In Prussia the method adopted of invoking blessings on a newly married pair used to be the more expensive one of smashing crockery against the door of the house in. which they were domiciled.

What Doeg it Profit 1

T,he.8°"!

the life, the inner the word

is the habitation, the outer. When I see a man who lias consecrated his time to money-getting, whose walls hang thick with pictures which he never, cures to look at, and his library is filled with books which he never cares to read, I ask myself, what does it profit When I see a man who clothes his wife in silks and satins, and gives his children all that money ean purchase, but has no kiss for thepue, spa no embrace for the otl^er,an|

never time to bind them to him by cords of loving sympathy, I ask myself, what does it profit? When I see a man rising by sinuous processes to places of high honor in the state, only to be despised by all who track his slimy pathway thither, I ask myself, what does it profit? When I see the "rich fool" of the present day wondering where he shall bestow his accumulated goods, and never hearing the warning voice which every recurring funeral repeats in his ears, "Thou fool— thy soul shall be required of thee," I ask myself, what does it profit? O reader! shrewd to balance advantages in every bargain, consider whether you are bargaining away yourself, and if so, what profit there is or can be, let the price be what it may.

5 „v- .•£ V-

Mrs. B. to Mrs. R.—I saw you with a new dress on the other day as you were passing my house. How much did you pay for it?

Mrs. R.—Fifty-five cents a yard. Mrs. B.—Wliy, they asked me 75 cents a yard for it! ,. 'A Mrs. R.—Perhaps you saw it at some other place than where got mine.

Mrs. B.—Why, where did you get yours? Mrs. R.-I bought it at the NEW YORK CITY STORE. Mrs. B.—Do you then trade at Foster Brother's I wouldn't buy a cent's worth there.

Mrs. R.—Pray, why not? I always buy where I can buy the cheapest,and I am sure there is no pleasanter place in town to trade than Foster Brothers. They are polite and agreeable, and take a great deal of trouble to suit their customers, and are never impudent to you, as they are at some other stores in town, if you don't happen to get suited.

Mrs. B.—But I have been told that they didn't sell as cheap as they advertised to do, and that if I went there to trade I wouldn't get goods as cheap as they promised to sell them.

Mrs. R—Why, they constantly ask you in their advertisements to cut them out and bring them with you that may see for yourself whether they do or not sell as they advertise. Some of the other dry goods merchants have been stulling you. They all hate the New York City Store because it has put down prices. I have been surprised to hear certain dry goods merchants in town, who claim to be gentlemen, talking in the most false and slanderous manner of the firm of Foster Brothers.

Mrs B—I have sometimes thought myself that what they said was hurting them aud helping Foster Brothers, for I am tolo that the latter are now doing a larger business than ever. How long have you been trading with them, and have you always found them reliable and their goods as represented

Mrs.41.—I have traded with them ever since they opened, and have always been well satisfied. Once, however, I got a linen lawn that they warranted would wash. After I got it partially made—the breadths all gored—I thought I would cut oft' a small piece and try it. I was disappointed in finding that it faded quite badty I was, I must admit, a little put out about it, for I knew that as it was cut out they would not exchange it, for I had already had a case of this kind with another store in town that had sold me a dress that was warranted to wash, but which faded, and when I went back with it, they not only wouldn't allow me anything for it, but threw in with the refusal an unusual amount of impudence. However I determined to take this dress back also, and give Foster Brothers a "blessinK"'at least for warranting it tome. Going in 1 happenad to meet Mr. Foster himself, and I commenced at him i" a manner neither "child-like" nor "bland." He asked me in a very quiet manner to explain the matter to him, adding, "There is nothing we dislike more than to make mistakes, but there is nothing that gives us more pleasure than correcting them." I explained the matter to him, when he said: "As our clerk warranted it to wash, we are, of course, in honor bound to make up your loss to you, whatever that may be. We would exchange it, only it is cut into so many pieces." You may judge I was surprised when he ottered to return me half my moncg. I suppose I ou^ht to have been satisfied with that, but

the dress was of no value to me, and I told him so. "Then," said he, we will take the goods back just as they are and return you ALL your money."

Mrs. B.—You certainly were treated well, but do you think they still do things in that way? As your dress was lawn, you probably,bought it when they first started. Perhaps t'liey do different now.

Mrs. R.—I have every reason to tlnnk this is one of the settled principles upon which they do business. You must have certainly seen that they constantly advertise to return the money for all goods bought at their store that are not in every way satisfactory to tne buyer. No other store in town will do that.

Mrs. B.—Now you speak of it, I do remember that they have been so advertising. But I have one objection to these gentlemen, of which I have not yet spoken, and that is that they are so personal in their advertisements.

Mrs. R.—Yes I heard Mrs. T. talking in that same way the other day, and I havn't a bit of patience with either of you. You go and listen for half an hour to th» low personal abuse heaped upon these men by some of their competitors, and \u ue siiucKeu aim are virtuously indignant because this firm have simply dared to say what they have repeatedly offered to prove—that for years our dry goods stores have been charging unreasonably high profits. No one knows what they state to be a fact better thau you do, for you and Mrs. T., and Mrs. H., and several others that I know, used to go to Indianapolis and Chicago for most all your dry goods previous to Foster Brothers bringing down the prices, and yet you stand by and see a combination entered into to drive them away from town, and you hear falsehoods told in regard to them weeks before they opened, and then after their opening you see everything thrown in their way whereby their business may be obstructed—you see their small cash boys beaten in the streets—their goods piled at ihe door cut with knives—members of the firm assaulted in the streets— efforts made to entice away their help—and yet for all these you have not one single word of condemnation. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. For my part I glory in the pluck of. these young men who do not propose to have any body ride rough-shod over them.

Mrs. B.—Really, Mrs. R., you are getting quite eloquent. I didu't know I should bring down upon my head so sharp a lecture, or I should have kept quiet. However, I am not sure but that there is some truth in what you say, and I promise at least to think the matter over. Perhaps I may conclude to try this firm myself, for, to tell you the truth, my friends are many of them telling me I am foolish to pay the old stores 20 or 30 per cent, more for goods than Foster Brothers are charging. «J -.-ni ay- ly.u Hi'.

Mrs. R.—And I quite agree with them. Now to-morrow I am going around to the New YorK City Store to get some muslin, and if you will call around and go with me and examine the goods and inspect their prices, and see with what patience and pleasantness each customer in all the throng is waited upon, I will be very much mistaken if you don't make it in the future your favorite shopping place.

We submit the afooye withont comment. Evidently Mrs. R. is qnite able to take care of herself. We are certainly under great obligations to her for the good words she has spoken in our behalf. F. B.
