SINCB Tilton's history of Victoria Woodhull has appeared his friends have become alarmed in regard to his mental conidtion. No one can read the wild, immoral, incoherent rigmarole without coming to the conclusion that Tilton is in a very bad way.—Milwaukee Sentinel.

If he is not closely watched during the prevailing suicidal epidemic which now rages among the "unfortunates" he may add another to those v^ho have gone to the "bright summer land."

A CARD.

Editor Courier In this morning's Courier I am made to appear as one of the spiritualists that attended the expose at the Opera House last night. I object to having myself so classified in a public paper. I need what little reputation for sense I may possibly have, and don't want to loose it by being set down as a spiritualist. Call me a Morman, a free-lover, or a purchaser of shares in the Townly estate, near Manchester, England' and let me go—I will compromise on almost anything, but pray let me up on the charge of spiritualism.

CHARLES E. MARSH.

Mr. Marsh puts it strong, but he evidently is in earnest. It is far better that he be charged with any oue of the above alternatives as proposed by him than to be charged with eutertaining a belief which evidently embodies all the alternatives proposed—in practice if not in principle. Their principles can better be known by their practice than their assertion.

HISTORY OF TERRE HAUTE.

Her Attractions as a Home, and Advantages for Business.

Mannfactnring, Ac., Ac.

We have been shown a work similar to the above (first from the press,) for the city of Springfield, Illinois. In looking over the work, we flud the following as a partial list of the contents:

Preliminary Historical Sketch, State Government Organized, Springfield and Sanganon County, Early History of Railroad Legislation, Internal Improvement Act, Street Railways, Population of State, City and County Geology of the State, Iron Mining, Coal and Coal Mining, Public Libraries, Public and Private Buddings, City Schools, Churches, Benevolent Institutions, County, City and State Officers, Board of Trade, Business Houses and Firms of the City, Manufacturing Establishments, Ac., Ac. Messrs. Wiggins & Co., the well-known publishers of this and similar works, in this and adjoining States, are now here

TERRE HAUTE

for the purpose of canvassing our city for a work bearing the title at the head of this article. Already they have made a partial and successful canvass of some of the leading business and manufacturing houses and assure us that they will publish it about December or January, it requiring all the intervening time to prepare the work for the press. In connection with the history will be published a complete and reliable business and general directory of our city for 1872, giving two works in one volume.

They agree to publish, at their own expense, oue thousand additional copies of a pamphlet edition of the history for gratuitous distribution among their ad vertising patrons, and will offer to the city from 1,000 to 10,000 copies of the same at cost priee. These copies are to be used as an advertisement of the city and its busiuess and manufacturing, by a liberal distribution abroad, and inviting manufacturers to locate among us. They will give a special no tice of the houses, both business and manufacturing, who are represented in its advertising columns, making it the intererest of one and all to be among its patrons. Mr. Weaver, the General Agent of the Publishers will call on our busiuess men, and will take pleasure in still further explaining the nature of the work. We should be glad to hear from some of our enterprising business men as to the value of such a work to the city. Among their largest advertisers and patrons we notice the following well known firms: Biglow Coal & Mining Co. Terre Haute Glass Co., Vigo Iron Co., Hulman & Cox, Foster Brothers, Warren, Hoberg & Co., J. A. Parker, Ryce's Carpet Hall, Spracklen & Bomberg, Bowser & Johnson, R. L. Ball, Kussner's Palace of Music, Singer Sewihg Machine, G. F. Ellis, W. H. Paige & Co., Clift & Williams, Buntin & Madison, Bement& Co., Wittig & Dick, Gulick & Berry, and many others.

On the tombstone of the first Joseph Jefferson, who is buried at Harrisburg, Pa., is an inscription written by Chief Justice Gibson, of Pennsylvania, a part of which is: "His unrivaled powers took the whole extent of comic character, from pathos to heart shaking mirth." His son Joseph was an artist and an actor. Loving, however, his easel better than the stage, he devoted most of his life to painting. His marriage with the brilliant actress and singer. Mrs. Burke, in 1827, had for its issue the present eminent comedian, who was born in February 1829, and who so fully inherits the genius of his grandfather and thfe grace and musical talent of his mother..

THE abhorrence of outside Republicans to Tammany may arise from the fact stated by Mr. C. C. Leigh,

A feature at the Westchester County (New York) Fair, last week, was the baby show. There were nineteen entries and some very fine specimens of the infant genus homo.

A Mrs. Mitchell, of Detroit, who left that city to visit her aged mother in Portland has not been heard from by her friends since she arrived in Boston, over a month ago. A communication in the Detroit Tribune says "As may be expected, her friends here and elsewhere are very anxious, feeling perfectly cer tain that she is either dead or deprived of her liberty. Mrs. Mitchell is twenty seven years old, and those who know her will not think I make an overstatement when I say that she was one of the most beautiful and accomplished ladies in Detroit, and the writer knows her to be as good as she was beautiful. She was devoted to her husband, and an intimate acquaintance with Mr. Mitchell for the last two years satisfies the writer that he is equally devoted to her. Mrs. Mitchell was brought up in the New Church, of which she early became a member. She loved her Savior, and tried to obey His commandments. The writer does not know of any one who would less willingly do a wrong."

From the Kansas State Record.

A Plucky Girl.

As a gentleman was coming into town the other day on the Wakarusa road, he noticed a young girl ride out of Mr. Flander's yard mounted on a pony. Pretty soon the pony began to display a bad temper, and very shortly afterwards threw the girl, who turned a somersault in the air and struck on her head in the road with terrific force. The gentleman got out of his buggy and went to her assistance. He tound she had got a bad fall, and had a cut across her forehead. Headvised her to abandon pony riding for the present, but she wiped the blood from her face, and insisted on mounting her fractious steed again. Anxious for her safety, her friend watched for future developments, and in a few minutes she was hurled over the pony's head, and this time struck with such force it seemed as if she must have broken every bone in her body. The pony took the opportunity io gallop oft". She was again helped to her feet, half stunned and covered with dust, and urged to abandon riding such a fractious brute but clutching her riding whipshe started off in pursuit of the pony, evidently determined to ride him or get her neck broken in the attempt. We did not learn the young lady's name. She was apparently about sixteen years of age, and is evidently "death on ponies."

A Hurricane of Stones.

In Zarate, a city of the Argentine Re-

{ast

rnblic, there happened on the 8th of June a frightful hurricane with stones. Cordova Prensa describes it as follows "It was about 4:30 A. M. the atmosphere without the slightest breezo and suffocating. The clouds went on slowly accumulating in great masses in the west 5 A. M. struck, when a dull yet frightful sound was heard far off to the westward. A minute afterwards the storm broke in an awful form. It began with a sound like the discharge of heavy artillery, with lightning. The pampero wind swept over with unusual violence and fury, bringing with it a clould of stones, such as never had been seen before. These stones, some as large as goose e$ gs, fell everywhere. Houses, huts and roofs of all sorts suffered terribly: some were knocked over, others unroofed, and all injured, not a pane of glass or a public lamp survived unbroken, and many were carried to a great distance by the force of the wind. Buildings exposed to the fury of the blast looked as if a rifle corps had been doing their best against them. Many animals were reported killed, and one woman and a child.

THE great and good Horace Greeley had a very narrow eseape from an unmerited epithet in the columns of the Republican recently. Having cut from an exchange an account of his visit to the Iudians atOshkosh, we handed it to a printer with oral instructions to give it -the heading, "Horace Greeley in Lo's Camp." Just in time to make the correction before the paper had gone to press, we discovered that we had been misinterpreted to the extent of "Horace Greeley a Low Scamp." Of course he is no such thing.—Chicago Republican.

A St. Louis lawyer lost his pass on the street cars, and requested the officers of the road to have anybody who should present it arrested.

He sent for his friends, and was eventually rescued. 'f&yji

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.

Eight Men Almost Instantly Killed

Intense Excitement During: the Day and NiKht.

Between nine and ten o'clock yesterday morning the city was startled by the report that-a section of the Kentucky avedue sewer had caved in and that a large number of laborers were buried under the earth and timbers. Hurrying feet at once carried large crowds in that direction, when it was found that in this instanc rumor had not exaggerated. The point where the accident occurred is something less than one hundred feet above the LaFayette Railroad track, where the excavation was about twelve feet wide by twenty-two in depth.

The sheeting, or heavy plank driven down to guard against such occurrences as happented yesterday, are only allowed —according to one of the contractors—-to reach as far as the center of the brick work of the sewer proper. From the terminatidn, a rounding ditch, or semicircle. is dug to the depth sufficient to occommodate one-half of the masonry.

The immediate cause of the accident appears to have been either the carelessness or ignorance of the workmen, in digging almost directly down in a line with the sheeting. Immediately above, on the south side of the sewer, were the immense quantities of earth thrown out, and these, combined with the gravely character of the soil at the base, forced the mass beneath the planking. When once started, the cross-braces dropped, and the enormous pile came crushing down with irresistible force. After one cross-piece had given away, the resistance offered by the balance amounted to nothing whatever, and the heavy planks, joists and beams were crushed like so many pipe stems.

From the time the first alarm was given till the work of death was complete, not more than one minute elapsed,., and a gentleman who stood within thirty feet, informs us that he heard a crash, looked around instantly, and all was over. As may be supposed, the report of the disaster spread like wild-fire, the dire news appearing to reach the families of the unfortunate men in the lower part of the city before it was hardly heard of on Washington street. These were among the first to reach the ground, and it was well that a number of policemen arrived almost simultaneously, as the female portion of the relatives appeared to be almost

beyond control. A few desultory efforts were made to reach the bodies, when it was discovered there was danger of further catastrophes, and it was found necessary to proceed systimatically, and re-sheet both sides the full distance of the break.

Considerable time elapsed in doing this, though the utmost speed possible was made, and in the meantime a large force was placed at work removing the sand and gravel from the neighborhood of the edge of the ditch. For nearly an hour after the accident the voices of some of the men could be heard quite distinctly, and there was a hope that, being protected by the timbers, some, if not all of them, could be rescued alive. As the minutes dragged their slow length, however, the most sanguine lost all faith, and it therefore caused great astonishment when cries were heard from the upper edge of the fallen mass between eleven and twelve o'clock. Several men instantly proceeded to the spot, and through the timbers they could indistinctly see the face of one of the victims, and distinctly hear his voice. He said that his name was John Gibson, that he could breathe comfortably, but that his legs were fast in the timbers and he was suffering terribly. He also said there were two dead men touching him, and that he could hear nothing more among those further in. Stimulants were passed to him, but no hopes were entertained of getting him out.

On the lower side of the mass a few shovelsfull of earth were thrown off, when the head of a man was discovered, but the extremities were fast, and as he was beyond chances of earthly assistance, the body was left for the time, and all efforts directed to getting at those whom there might be even the faintest prospects of saving. The admirable police arrangements prevented the crowd from pressing too near the edge of the sewer, and it was well that these details were so nearly perfect, as in the crush of the thousands Continually coming and going and the almost insane desire|to obtain a sight of the exact spot where the men were entombed, some additions would have been made to the horrors of the day.

About two o'clock Gibson was rescued, and strange and unaccountable as it may seem, he was almost entirely unhurt, being able to walk around without assistance, though somewhat stiff and sore from his long confinement. But he was the only fortunate one of the number. One after another the bodies of Jerry Sullivan, JolinGraly, John Carr, Thos. Kennedy, John Haley, Henry Dugan and Jesse Barnes, were taken out, most of them presenting a sickening appear ance. The last named was not found till 11 o'clock last night.

The remains were taken in charge by Undertaker Hedges, some of them being removed to his establishment on Mary' land street, while others, after being viewed, were given to their friends. jury was summoned in the evening, con sisting of the following persons: Eli Thompson, R. B. Barber, John A. Mc Kinney, Elijah Hedges, Thomas Williams and Thomas A. Mears. After consulting the circumstances, an ad journment was made till seven and a half o'clock this evening.

From the Indianapolis Evening Journal.

THE PROBLEM OF SPIRITUALISM.

Some of the Proceedings of the National Spiritualistic Convention at Troy, New York.

The National Convention of Spiritual ists, which recently met at Troy, New York, was largely attended by delegates from all parts of the Union, as well as by spirits of every age of the world and from every sphere. The question of taking Mormon recruits into fellowship was extensively discussed by the Con vention. Mr. Peter B. Good was ap prehensive that the session of the Mormons would make Spiritualists "responsible for a body of criminals." On the other hand, Dr. Gardner, of Boston, was in favor of recognizing the Mormon Spiritualists, and pertinently inquired: "If you want to erect a standard of morality for Spiritualists, where are you going to be gin?" For his part, he didn't care if a man had a thousand wives, it was none of his business.. E. S- Wheeler announ ced the Spiritualist dogma, that "expediency is morality." Delegate Cooley suggested the appointment of regular officers to solemnize marriages between disembodied spirits and their fleshly affinities Dr. Gardner protested against praying as a useless waste of time. He didn't want to "listen to invocations to any one they didn't know—Joss or Jehovah." The spiritof Demosthenes, though Mrs. Wood' hull, discussed delicate physiological matters in bad English and rasping rhetoric. The impediment in the speech of the old blowhard, of which he is reported to have cured himself by filling his mouth with bowlders, seems to have re turned, and he stammered horribly. The marriage question was a favorite topic of discussion. Dr. Halleck, with a lofty scorn, wanted to know if Spiritualists had not yet arrived at a point where they "can see the impudence of a man with his shirt on over his clothes instead of under them, stepping between a man and woman and undertaking to sanction with the blessings of the church the union their souls have decreed." To sum up, the proceedings of the Assembly seem to have been characterized by insanity flavored with blasphemy.

The problem of Spiritualism is a puzzling one. What shall be done with all these people, who are growing crazier every year? The proper place for them is in the lunatic asylums, but they are altogether too numerous for that sort of treatment. So long as they confined themselves to harmless disturbances among the parlor furniture, mysterious writing, strumming guitars, pounding tamboriues, and other tricks of legerdemain, sane people could afford to look on their demonstrations with quiet pity but when they attack the Christian religion and the institution of marriage, they become dangerous.

WONDERFUL PHENOMENON.

Fountains of the Great Deep Broken Up— Towns, Trees,Men and Animals Ingnlfed. NEW YORK, Sept 18,1871.—The follow* ing extraordinary dispatch has been received her from Savannah, Georgia: "A startling phenomenon has just occurred in Florida. A large portion of Orange county has been changed to a lake, and trees, houses and people ingulfed. There were many witnesses of the phenomenon. They say the first thing that attracted attention was trees moving first in gyratory motion, some sinking gradually out of sight, the tops receding more and more rapidly as they sank and disappeared, others following, and, as they fell, revolving and describing arcsof acircl6 against the sky then the whole earth,as far as the eve could reach, sinking,and its place supplied by asea of water, rushing, seething, boiling, with a noise as of mighty cataracts, and ever and anon casting to the surface roots and tops of bodies of mighty pines and-oaks. The country in every direction is entirely submerged, and is now one vast lake. It is rumored that the town of Orlando is entirely swallowed up, and the whole chain of lakes from Apaka to Lake Conway are now united and form an immense inland sea. The people are flying terror-stricken from the scene of disaster."., -,.
