THE Indianapolis morning Journal of to-day says that yesterday afternoon, the initial services in the big tent were held, conducted by Rev. Mr. Inskip. A very large number of persons were in attendance. In the evening another large congregation was gathered within the walls of the tent'. Rev. Mr. McDonald, of Brooklyn, opened the meeting, and preached. He was followed by Mr. Inskip in an exhortation, after which the congregation dispersed to meet at 9i this morning.

NILSSON, the sweet and charming cantatrice, whose arch smiles delighted the susceptible heart, and whose bewitching eyes lighted up the mansion of our festive and eloquent Bayless last winter, will kick piano stools from the stage of the Opera House, and in the presence of a three thousand dollar shoddy audience at Titusville, (Pa.,) Monday evening. Oh how her angelic smiles will be reflected from huge diamonds—such as re cently described by a Titusville newspaper man as being so heavy as to require a freight car to ship it from N. Y. to its destination.

THE local of the New Albany Standard is responsible for the following. He says that "a bachelor friend of ours the other day, giving a sly and cuuning look at a young lady, (in her teens, but of sound judgment and discreet mind,) asked her why she did not marry? She remarked that she could not get any one to have her. He replied, somewhat pleasingly, 'Oh! yes, Miss Sallie, I'll have you.' 'Oh!' said she 'you are joking, Mr. Johnson, you don't want to marry.' 'Yes, ma'am,' said Johnson, 'I am ready, cut and dried for marrying.' 'Well, excuse me. Mr. Johuson, I have no use for that kind of a man.' Mr. Johnson collapsed."

CENTRAL PARK fence is being whitewashed, and Messrs. Andrews & McDonald, lessees, propose to establish a club house thereat, which will "whitewash" any similar institution but of large metropolitan cities. They will furnish it with the best funiture to be had, and have it conducted as a first class establishment in every department.

The Indianapolis Journal of this monring says that "there Is-at last a prospect for an enlargement or extension of the already immense Union Depot. The necessity of such action has been apparent so long and been talked of so often that a suffering people had about arrived at the conclusion that the work never would be attempted. To all who have been afflicted with doubts, however, we can state that something is "going to be did'.' for so the moguls who control the destiny of the depot yesterday decided. Exactly how the devoutly desired consummation will be reached, er whether it will be reached quickly, is a matter at present remaining in the hands of special committee, consisting of Messrs. Morris, of the LaFayette, Ricketts, of the Union Depot Company, McKeen, of the Vandalia, and Woodward, of the Indianapolis & St. Louis. Whether the building will be enlarged or removed to some other locality is the question for the committee to decide, and after fully discussing the subject, a report will be made at

a special meeting of the officers of the various roads entering here."

A FEMALE BOATMAN.

The Adventures of a Peoria Girl in Male Attire. Irene Robinson, a bright-looking young woman, aged 19, left her home in Peoria Illinois, two years ago because her parents wished her to marry a man old enough to be her father, and for whom she entertained a decided dislike. To guard against detection, she adopted the habit of a boy, and, with her hair cut short, first went to Chicago, and there obtained work as a teamster, passing uu der the name of William Franks. She was suspected of being a girl, but denied it, and left Chicago through fear of being detected and sent home. She worked at various places as a farm laborer, but seldom stayed long at one place. The prying eyes of women were almost always the first to detect the imposture. After various adventures, she found herself in Troy, a few days ago, and engaged as a deck-hand on a canalboat, commanded by Capt, Cabineau, and bound for this city. On the way here the captain's wife accused her of being a girl, and she finally confessed that such was the fact. By advice of Mrs. Cabineau, she went to the West Twentieth Street Police Station to ask aid of the police authorities to enable her to reach her home. She is tired of her rough life, and wishes to see her relatives, of whom she has heard nothing since leaving home. Her rough, horny hands and sun-burned face bear witness to her life of toil aud exposure. Her garb consists ot a coat, much the worse for wear and torn in several places, patched pan taloons, rough woolen shirt, a pair of heavy boots, aud a battered black hat. She possesses a cheerful disposition, which even her rough life has been unable to subdue. When asked why she did not assume the garb of her sex, when first accuseed of beinga girl, she said that she was afraid of being found by her father and compelled to return home. She is detained at the station house. To-day she will be sent home by the police authorities.

The Foolish Groom.

ANew York correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial tells the following good one on a groom, which should rank that groom with the foolish virgins who did not have any oil for their lamps. The correspondent says that a grand fashionable wedding, announced to take

place

on Thursday of last week, in New York, was postponed under peculiar and trying circumstances. The groom, detained down town later than he anticipated, hastened to his home to array himself for the ceremoney, and found that his wedding suit had not arrived. He immediately dispatched a messenger for the missing garments, and waited with what patience he could summons for his return. The messenger returned, but not the pantaloons. The tailor, a fashionable Spanish professor of the art of cutting and king, had the misfortune tp have tablishment seized for debt, and the would-be bridegroom's wedding suit was seized with the stock, and was in possession of the Sheriff. Fancy the situation. It was almost the hour for the ceremony, and no clothes. The perspective Benedict jumped in a carriage and dashed wildly through the streets in search of the myrmidon of the law, but when found he was obdurate—no entreaties could move him to yield the wedding garments. The baffled aud disappointed bride-groom, compelled, against his will, to appear a laggard in love, had to return to his home and indite an epistle to his waiting bride, explaining that as he had no clothes there could be no wedding.

Grinding Wheat Without Millstones. At a recent meeting in Edinburg of the British Association of Science, a paper was read by Mr. Thomas Carr, upon a new mill for grinding wheat It is described as reducing wheat by percussion, while it is unsupported and being projected through the air. When the wheat passes through the machine, it is struck by a series of bars, moving swiftly in opposite directions. They reduce the wheat instantaneously to a state ready for bolting that no injurious heat is caused, and consequently the flour is of much superior quality to that obtained by ths usual way of grinding, and also at a much less cost. An E.iinburg firm has one of these disintegrating flour mills in full operation, and the advantages in its favor over the millstones, it supercedes are pointed out in Mr. Carr's paper. It rarely needs repairing in comparison with the other millstones requires fewer men, and thus saves in wages is i'ree from loss by-scorching, and thus saves fire insurance occupies less space, and requires less driving power and in addition to this, produces a superior quality of flour.—Cincinnati Enquier.

Decay of Male Courtesy.

The Revolution (Woman's Rights paper), having noticed that platform women are not very popular among gentlemen, comes to the rescue in this style:

All this ridiculous, old-fashioned twaddle, all these unnecessary bowings and scrapings, are dying out of society, and society is much sincerer and better for the change in manners. Much of that parade and deference toward the fair sex, was false and shallow—no deeper than the finger tips. Sensible women will not bemoan the loss of it and if there are not men found to show them reverence because perchance tliey believe a woman's,brain was made to think with, a woman's hand to work with, a woman's feet to stand on, all in right womanly fashion", why then these women must manage to exist without these tokens. All the deferential observances that any man claiming to be a gen* tleman can forego toward the sex to which his mother belongs, the sex can afford to spare. If the decay of male courtesy means that meu have grown utterly piggish and self-indugent, then so much the worse for creation's lords.

At dessert, Mr. Saward made a speech in English, to which M. Thiers replied in French, both greatly delighting their hearers. .. ..

TERRE HAUTE, IND., FRIDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 22, 1871. NO.

Charges Against President Grant—If True, he Should be Impeached. It has many times been authoritatively stated, and has never been authoritatively denied, that the cottage at Long Branch occupied by Gen. Grant was giveu to him as a present. It has also been alleged that one of the largest contractors to this great gift was the Hon. Thomas Murphy, whom Gen Grant subsequently appointed Collector of New York and to this allegation no denial has ever been interposed. We now find in the New York correspondence of the Chicago Times some additional statements upon this subject which are of such importance that we transfer them to our columns: "A cottage worth $20,000 was prepared for Gen. Porter, the President's confidential private secretary, at Long Branch, by Murphy. Large supplies of liquors and cigars were at the same time for warded to the White House at Washington by different members of the Murphy Ring, but paid for mostly by Murphy himself. These luxuries were sent to Grant and Porter and Hancock. Just now a plan was hit upon by Murphy, in consultation with two real estate speculators in Long Branch property—both Democrats—which proved a fortune- It was to buy a lot and build a cottage for Grant at a point adjoining their property. If he accepted it, and they knew that he would, two things would be accomplished. The fact that the national executive mansion would be established at this place during the summers would greatly enhance the value of all the property at the Branch, and especially that surrounding the President's residence. The other point to be gained, if Grant accepts the house and lot, aud they knew that he would, was that it would place him under special obligations to Murphy, who was to be known for the time being as the sole donor. This would settle the matter of the Custom House and secure it to Murphy. The cottage was not long in making its appearance. It cost Thomas Murphy $10,000, John Hoey $10,000, and John Chamberlain $10,000. Murphy was then aTammany offic eiiolder and owner of a cottage and a large amount of real estate at Long Branch. He was an Andrew Joh nson Democrat member of the arm-in-arm convention in Philadelphia in 1866, and voted for Hoffman against Fen ton for Governor. Mr. Hoey is the well known superintendent of the Adams Express Company, a large operator in and owner of real estate, especially at Long Branch, where he supports the most magnificent country-seat, with spacious parks and lawns, and horses, and drive ways, and turnouts, that were ever witnessed. He has always been a Democrat, is a thorough business man, a genial gentleman, who made the investment referred to as a speculation, and to please his neighbor and friend Tom Murphy. Mr. Chamberlain keeps the fashionable gentleman's club at the Branch, where the game of chance often involves, in a single nigh*, the sum of one hundred thousand dollars. Chamberlain is a shrewd man. He argues thus: "Grant is fond of horses and races. I will invest in his cot tage, and build a race-course at the Barnch. My property there will in crease in value if Grant goes there because he will carry a large crowd with him. Because the class who fol low him, such aslngalls, Nesmith, and others, like to fight the tiger, play poker, &c. John invested, and proceeded at once to lay out and construct the Monmouth Park, now one of the finest race courses in the country. Suffice it to say that Grant accepted the cottage as everybody knows, and has occupied

it

in some shape ever sinoe, Porter oc cupies his house when he is at the Branch. Both cottages are kept well supplied with the choicest of wines, liquors, and cigars from New York."

According to this correspondent, one of the purposes for which the house and land were presented to Gen. Grant was to obtain for Mr. Murphy the office of Collector of New York and this purpose was accomplished.

The Woman Problem—Dress. The average young man walks into his tailor's twice a'year, pays a bill, and has coats and pantaloons and vests. That is ail he knows. He requires shirts, and somebody makes him shirts. He thinks no more. Will he have a hat? Behold! a piece of felt, with a galloon string—it does not flop over his forehead. It will never twitch off his back hair. It does not blow into his eyes. Its elastic can not blister his neck, nor produce depressions of his cerebellum. It will not be out of date before summer is over, seldom or never be a matter of anxious reflection. It is a fixed fact, like yesterday's dinner or the last election. The average young woman expends enough inventive power, enough financial shrewdness, enough close foresight, enough pertuberation of spirit, enough presence of mind, enough patience of hope and anguish of regret, upon one season's outfit—I had almost said upon one single street suit—to make an excellent bank cashier,or a comfortable graduate of a theologicol seminary. If you doubt the truth of this statement, just take in for yourself, with the "crickec's eye," the first young girl you meet down town. How fearfully and wonderfully made! How do you suppose those bias folds, and double box plaits, and flute-ruf-fles.and corded bands, and snirred waists und paniered skirts, and bowed, and flounced, and tied, and corded,and laced, and buttoned, and spangled, and fringed, and folded, and dotted, and hunched, and bunched, and horrible mysteries got together There was maneuvering expend ed upon th« dressmaker to htlve elected «, Representative, aud concentration of mind upon the seamstress intense enough to have withstood a Wall street panic and headache enough put into the sewing machine to have mastered "Porter's Human Intellect." And now it requires care enough to keep heroelf together to save a soul.—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps.
