—Brazil Miner. Last fall "Maud" had a revelation from the spirit of Demosthenes, or some other great orator, that she could benefit her sex by lecturing at Dowling Hall on the subject of their "wright." When the time came for her to open out she had the attendance of just three persons, they being government officials who were carefully watching the woman movement, in order to accept it if there was a fair prospect of its beiug successful. She didn't lecture, and the officials went home determined to stick to the present administration.

WE SIT DOWN TO EXPLAIN.—When we wrote what we did yesterday in regard to Improper character being admitted to the Opera House, we did not mean to be severe with the Katie "Putnam" troupe. We were only speaking for the future, not of the past. Last evening the management assured us that they would employ some one to stay at the door who knows the characters alluded to, and prevent their occupying such prominent positions during the entertainment. In accordance with her determination, a policeman was kept the last evening and will be each evening hereafter, during the engagement at least, and hereafter too, if the voice of the press of the city can have the proper influence in the premises. Upon last evening there was a larger attendance than any during the Putnam engagement. People had faith that such characters would not be admitted last evening after the press had oalled attention to the fact, it being but reasonable to suppose that the management of the company knew nothing of their character.

There is one thing which we called attention to yesterday in the GAZETTE, as we did the day before, and in which we were seconded by the Journal. We have reference to the practice inaugurated by this company of allowing a boy to sell apples to such of the audience as do not know any better, during an entertainment. There were quite a number last evening, who during the play, were sinking their molars into the luscious fruits with a report, like a horse's hoof being pulled out of a mud hole. To those who sit near such offenders, and are deeply interested in Miss Katie's artistic playiug, this transgression of etiquette is very annoying, indeed, and places the theater on a line with a variety performance. This the management of the company can help if they will, we think. If not, why not?

THE MINERS' STRIKE.

What Will be the Result?

The strike which has been talked of, and waited for, and speculated about for several weeks past, has at lastcome. On Monday the miners assembled in massin Ashley's grove,^ast of town, and unanimously resolved that they would mine no more coal until the operators granted them a reduction of 100 pounds to the ton, making it 2,000 instead of 2,100, as hereto/ore. The operators held a meeting also, and determined that they would not acceed to this demand. Hence the strike.

How long it will last can only be conjectured. Both parties seem determened not to yield the miners claiming tbjit their demand is nothing but just and right and the operators declaring that there is no good reason for it. The time is rather a peculiar one. Ordinarily the winter trade would just be opening and the great demand for coal would make a strike disastrous to operators and consumers.* But what effect the great Chicago fire may have in diminishing the usual demand, remains to be seen. Meantime the railroads, have called in their coal cars, and many of the single and untrammeled miners are picking up their picks and seeking other fields of labor. It must be confessed that thing wears a bad face and the strike looks as though it might become chronic.

The immediate effects of hundreds of men beiug thrown out of employment and lying idle, will be to induce dull times'generally throughout the couoty. There will be a sort of stagnation in money matters. The miners will, of course, be compelled to live and to buy a certain amount of provisions and clothing but they will live economically and buy only such things as are absolutely necessary.

Our merchants may therefore expect comparatively dull times so long as the strike lasts. But we have gon« through strikes before and will know how to go through the present one. It is only a question of waiting, and waiting is not so hard to do, unless at the depot waiting for a train that is behind time.

We hope that the strike may not be of long continuance, but that some compromise will be found possible between the belligerent parties. It was bad enough to have our coal trade interfered with by the scarcity of cars it will be too bad to have it entirely cut ofl by a misunderstanding between operators and miners. With a little concession on the part of both, it seems to us that the difficulty might be satisfactorily settled and business resumed At any rate we shall continue to hope that so desirable a result may be reached erelong.

AN INDIANA CONFLAGRATION.

Brownsburg, Hendricks County, Devastated by Fire. Our little neighbor Brownsburg, Hendricks county, about forty miles from the city, was visited by a conflagration yesterday that was to it as fearful in its effects as the Chicago disaster to that city. About noon the .following' dispatch was received

Brownsburg, Indiana, is burning up. Send us engines immediately. T. W. MORGAN.

Chief Fire Engineer Glazier, prepared to send one immediately by a special train over the I. B. & W. Railway, but before it was ready to ship, intelligence arrived that the flames were under control, and that the fire would spread no further. The following dispatch received last evening indicates the names of the sufferers and the amount of insurance

BROWNSBURG, October 15.—There has been a fire in Brownsburg. The loss is about $15,000. Five business houses and three dwellings are burned. W. H. Evans, A McCabe, J. DilljF. M. Davis, Green & Dobson, F. M. Hughes, J. W. Darker, Buerndenhall, and George Sullivan, are the sufferers. There was an insurance of only $2,000 on the property destroyed.

G. F. TRAIN AND THE CHICAGO FIRE.

The Man of Destiny the Man of Prophecy.

Extract from a Remarkable Mental Rambling of a Wonderful Man.

A few nights since the great prophet and blackboard illustrator, George Francis Train, give one of his rambling lectures at Atchison, Kansas, in which he referred to the great Chicago conflagration as follows, according to the Patriot of that city: "Mr. Train introduced his lecture last night by giving a graphic description of the fearful disaster that has fallen on the couutry by the destruction of Chicago. With bis chalk and blackboard he marked out the burued district, and summed up all the fires be remembered in history, and said Chicago swamped them all. The following is a sketch of his remarks:

THE GREAT DISASTER.

I am not in the mood for speaking tonight. I am down-hearted, as all of us must be, at the terrible news that comes hourly over the wires. The greatest calamity, outside of civil war, that has ever visited our shores, has fallen upon us in the destruction of Chicago. [Sensation.] Chicago, the Prairie City, the Young Giant, of twenty years' growth, the center of a score of railways where a hundred trains a day bring all the world. [Applause.] Chicago, the Eldorado of the corn country, the City of Churches, Rings and Combination, has again marked itself in history as the Champion City of Fires. Overtopping all other fires in the world as it surpassed ail other towus in its marvelous growth, enterprise and assured wealth [sensation], all its banks, all its insurance companies, all its newspapers, all its railway palaces, all its Sherman and rremont Houses, all its down-town churches, all its magnifident palace stores, all its public buildings, are in ashes. [Sensation.] Six miles square of wealth—stone and iron—ten thousand houses in ashes, and one hundred thousand human beings Sleeping homeless, houseless, on the prairie. [Sensation.] Sum up the great fires of the past and, all told, this eclipses them all. CHICAGO ON THE BLACKBOARD—T&E

Aggregate $150,000,000 This was two centuries of disaster. Out here, in less than two days, we have wiped out,'according to report, twice this fearful loss, say $300,000,000, of accumulated wealth, labor and industry.

THE FATAL PROPHECY.

Who can account for this power of foretelling events? This marking out the future. For ten years the papers of the world have had in their columns my predictions—public speeches foretelling the great events that startle mankind. [That is so.] The building of theUnion Pacific Railroad, the saving of the Union, the downfall of McClellan, the assassination of Lincoln, the impending panic (Wall street speech) so near at hand, the downfall of Napoleon, the breaking up of Tammany, and the wiping out of Grant, the death ofEngland'sQueeu and the English Republic are simply questions of a few months' time. [Sensation.] Two hundred American audiences have seen me' map out on a blackboard the destruction of the "Doomed City of Sin," by the melt ing of the mountains of ice, overflowing Lake Superior into Lake Michigan anci sinking Chicago. [Sensation] The edi tor of the Dubuque Herald now publishing a paper in Aurora, made graphic pen sketcnesjof that picture. At halfpast ten on Saturday night, in Farwell's Hall, I delivered my 720th Presidential address in my course of 1,000 on the way to the White House [applause," where I again made the statement that I could not drive out of my mind the feeling that, either by the over-flow of Lake Michigan or some horrible fire, Chicago would be destroyed. [Sensation.] Just then the fire-bell rang, and the citv has been burning ever since, saw the flames at 1 o'clock Sunday morning belching forth impending doom, and returned to the Sherman, suggest ing to Gage that the cinders were flying over the Sherman House. The Sunday gale did the rest, and the Prairie JCity is now a graveyard of crushed hopes, cemetery of years of brain and body work, where lie the bones of a ruined industry and a wonderful energy, notified the authorities that the untried criminals in the Court House and jail would die in case of fire! My voice was not heeded, and they perished in the flames. [Sensation.]

THE EFFECT IN THE WEST. That question is suggestive. Bond and mortgage on fire-proof stone and iron buildings, built on valuable lots, rented at high rates, with insurance in many offices, was the pet security of the shrewd New England capitalists! Now, all is gone. Building, insurance—and even land not wortn half its cost. Chicago men had all their fortunes in Chicago Nothing outside. The loss to them is ruin. Does the lightning strike the same tree twice Does the cannon ball bit the same spot again Will Chicago Pboenixize herself? Perhaps, but meanwhile trade will run in other channels. More Western cities will build up under the misfortune of Chicago. Kansas City, Leavenworth, Atchison, St. Joseph, Omaha, Sioux City, will pick up the wreck of those millionaire merchants. The man of millions will settle down further West, where his thousands will give him position again. [That's so.]

Ofnaha will be the new Chicago. I yesterday wrote my private Secretary that the hotel-keepers of the burned city could have the Cozzens House, and to let them have it at a reduced rental. Last night an universal mass-meeting there voted assistance to the sufferers. Let us all in the West put our shoulders to the wheel, and do all we can for humanity's sake. Millions of provisions, money and material aid pour in from every town and city of America, so that the universal suffering will be alleviated. [Applause.] In two years Chicago will be rebuilt. [Applause.] America can not do without Chicago. [Cheers.]

THE COMING FINANCIAL PANIC. As fifty millions pays sometimes a thousand millions debt, the wiping out of three hundred millions by fire may bring universal disaster, as all the elements of a financial crash are in the air. [Sensation.] Special payment means National bankruptcy. Nothing but greenbacks for the bonds, on the Thad. Stevens plan, can save the credit of two thousand Natiopal banks and the wiping out ol three thousand millions of National debt. These assertions created a decided sensation as Mr. Train put his figures on the bulletin, of which he spoke but two hours and a half. MR, TRAIN AND THE CHICAGO HOTEL

PROPRIETORS.

Mr. Train sent off the following generous dispatch to the burned out hotel* keepers of Chicago:

Nicholson Pavement, n*.'

Of the Nicholson pavement there is being much said and written at this time. Many contend that it will not stand fire, citing the case of Chicago in proof of their assertions. We noticed much of it, and as have many others, became convinced that of everything opposed to the great conflagration there was nothing withstood its ravages as well as did the Nicholson pavement. Where even iron was melted and warped by the intensity of the heat how could it be possible that wood-work should entirely. It is trufy surprising that the entire pavements in the burnt districts were not entirely destroyed. Such was not the case, however, a& will appear by the following from the Cincinnati Enquirercorrespondent, which we heartily indorse: v|

Chicago was a wooden city, its pavements being constructed, even, of that material. These pavements are not seriously injured. The npper surface is scorched* little, bat they will last six or eight yeara yet, and are almost as good as new 'indeed, they are almost the only articles in the burnt district that did not burn. The reports so industriously circulated in Eastern papers that they materially aided in extending the flames are all moonshine. They are as firm as a rock, and have successfully demonstrated their fitness to be used in large cities, as regards their capacity to resist attacks of large fires. There has never been an instance since they were first introduced where they have been consumed or even materially injured by fire.

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 19.—The Doon county Advocate contains a full account of the loss of life and property by the great fires in that county up to Sunday night, the 8th. Fires had been raging through the towns of Brussels, Union, Gardner, Forrestville, Clay, Banks, Nasewaupee, Sturgeon Bay, an'i Sevastopol, burning fences and timber, but leaving the houses untouched.

At 9 P. M. on Sunday night the fiery tornado swept down from tjhe south and west, beginning at the Belgian settlement in Brussels, and sweeping througfh the towns of Union, Gardner and the western portion of Sevastopol, down to the east shore to the bay. Every building was consumed. At Williamson's shingle mill everything was burned, and a most awful destruction of human life ensued. Out of eighty persons at the mill seventy-five persons were burned to death. The few survivors tell a horrible tale of the scenes at this terrible holocaust. After the fire forty-five bodies were found in a potato patch in the center of the clearing. Other bodies were found scattered around, some in wells. There were many disfigured in a terrible manner, in some cases beyond recognition. This great destruction was but the work of fifteen minutes, and was the same tornado that burned Peshtigo and twelve hundred human beings. A number of other losses of life are reported in other places. Twenty-two in the town of Brussels suffered a like fate. There is scarely a house standing in the line of this storiu of fire.

Efforts for relief are not spared here, or anywhere in the State, and donations from abroad are coming along just in time to make comfortable those who survive. Contributions of money can be sent to Hon. Alexander Mitchell, President of the Wisconsin Marine and Fire Insurance Bank, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and clothing aud provisions to Hon. Harrison Ludington, Mayor of Milwaukee.

CHICAGO, October 19.—Six new steam fire engines arrived here last night from New York. With the increased force to the fire department no further apprehension is felt for the future safety of the city against fire.

There have been many wild and false reports circulated through the press of other cities about the city and county debt. In these reports the city debt has been placed sit $20,000,000, when in fact it is less than one-half that amount. On the first day of April last it was $13,000,000, and nothing has been aaaed to it since. The eutire county debt does not exceed $15,000,000.

W. S. Johnston of Lake Forest, is the owner of two hundred lots on Milwaukee Avenue, and he offers, free of rent, these lots for three years, for the purpose of erecting upon them cheap houses for the hbmeless.

Mrs. Leary, residing at 37 DeKoven street, in whose barn the fire originated which destroyed the city, pronounces the story as false that the cow kicked over the kerosene lamp in the stable while she was milking. On the contrary, she was abed and asleep when the fire commenced.

The Illinois House of Representatives yesterday passed the suplementary warehouse and Chicago tax exemption bills. These are both important relief bills for Chicago.

The first real estate transaction of any* importance since the fire, was made this morning. H. G. Hinsdale sold to T. B. Bryan 42 feet on Dearborn street by 82 feet on Randolph street, the burnt district, for $50,000, equivalent to cash. Mr. Hinsdale bought the property a year ago for $40,000, and at the time of the fire it was worth $60,000.

Business has assumed a tangible character to-day on Wabash and Michigan avenues. The .express companies are bring in more shipments of New York goods to this city, and the freight houses are equally as busy. What was said yesterday about the banks may be repeated to-day. They are paying out and receiving deposits according to the wishes of their customers. The savings banks are paying on demand.all amounts of twenty dollars and under

The Illinois Senate to-day passed the bill which had been previously passed by the House, that the State assume the lien held by Chicago on the Illinois and Michigan Canal. This gives Chicago $3,000,000, which the city had expeuded in deepening the canal.

The Green Bay (Wiscoubin) Advocate learns from a reliable source that the loss of the Pesutigo Company, by the recent fire in the lumber region, was $360,000, with an insurance of upward of $100,000.

The loss of the company in Chicago was large. It is asserted, on good authority, that they will pay every cent of their liabilities.

The losses of Cyrus H. McCormick by the fire will amount to about three-quar-ters of a million, but he will at once commence rebuilding his reaper manufactory atod warehouses.

Judge W. W. Farwell sent a communication to the Board of Trade to-day, in which he proposed to erect a building on the southwest corner of Market and Washington streets, with a room in it 90 by 90 feet, which hegivesio the Board rent free. The directors of the Board accepted the offer of Judge Farwell, and the building will be ready within forty days.

James Warrick, of this city, paid over to M&yor Mason to-day twenty-seven thousand dollars, a subscription from Glasgow, Scotland through Henderson Brothers, agents of the Anchor Line of steamers in New York.

SALT LAKE, October 19.—Aaron Johnson, a Mormon bishop of Springville, Utah county, was arrested this afternoon at that place by U. S. Marshal Patrick, under an indictment found a year ago as an accessory to the murder of a prisoner, and was taken to Provo to-morrow he will have a hearing before Judge Strickland, of the First District Court.

The whole time of the Court here today was occupied in empanneling a jury for the Hawkins case. The challenges have not yet been exhausted.

TERRE HAUTE, IND.. FRIDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 20, 1871. NO. 121.

The Ogden tin-mine excitement still contiues. SALT LAKE, October 19.—In the case of Hawkins, polygamist, charged by his first wife with adultery, the jury was finally empanneled this afteriioon, aud the trial •'commenced.

Tom. Fitch, for the defendant, occupied all the morning in an argument that he had a right under the United States law to temporary challenge, while the prosecution had only the right to two. Judge McKean, on the ground that this was a matter of the people of the United States in the Territory of Utah, and not the United States, decided against the defense. On the opening of the trial, the first witness called was the true wife. She testified positively to the cohabitation of her husband with two other women in her house, continuously. To-morrow the daughter, now married, will take the wituess stand. The indictment in this case is brought under the Utah statute in relation to crimes and punishment, approved March 6, 1862. Everything is peaceable. The weather is delightful.

The Supreme Court, now in session at Knoxville, reverses the decision, and remands the case for a new trial.

INSURANCE NOTES.

The Atlantic and Manhatten companies have suspended. An injunstion was granted against the Irving Fire Insurance Company, and W. J. Grow appointed receiver.

The assets of the Equitable were $121,000. Loss, $1,000,000. Payment probable, ten cents on the dollar.

The assets of the Home are $215,000, and its losses over a million. The insured may hope to receive 25 cents on the dollar.

The American haa assets worth* $275, 000. It did a country business mostly, and will pay up promptly in full.

The Knickerbocker's assets were $204,000. Its losses were at least $2,000,000. It may pay 10 perjsenL, but _it is doubt-

Tne Lamar'hacf reinsured nearly all its risks in the People's of San Francisco, and policy-holders will probably be paid in full.

The assets of the Commercial of Chicago are $2,000,000. Losses estimated at $2,500,000. If the policy-holders receive 10 cents on the dollar they will do well.

The assets of the State on the 1st of January last were $362,000. Its losses foot up .the grand total of $3,000,000. Payment, about ten cents on the dollar.

The Chicago Fire had of assets, on the 1st of January, $131,000. Its estimated losses are $1,500,000. Probable payment, ten cents on the dollar.

The assets of the Merchants amounted to $900,000, of which $250,000 was invested in a building which is destroyed. Its estimated gisks are $5,000,000. It can not pay over ten per cent.

The Lorillard Insurance Company were compelled to suspend yesterday by reason of the losses at the .Chicago fire. The assets of the company area million and three quarters. Liatylites unknown.

The assets of the Great Western amounted to $271,000, and its losses amounted to about $1,000,000. Its poliey holders will probably receive 20 cents on the dollar.

The assets of the Firemen's were $275,000. Their losses are variously estimated at from $2,000,000 to $4,000,000. Ten cents on the dollar is more than this company can possibly pay.

The assets of the Republic are $1,200,000 in cash items, besides over $4,000,000 of unpaid stock subscriptions. Its estimated losses are $3,000,000. It is thought that policy-holders will be paid in full.—Cm. Inqtifrer.

The Germania was owned and officered principally of Germans. Its assets on the 1st of January last were $260,000. Its losses are supposed to be $2,000,000. Ten cents on a dollar will be about' what it will pay, although its friends are confident, that it wiH pay from twenty to twenty-five cents on the dollar T**""

The question of insurance continues uppermost in most men's minds, and the impression generally prevails that they are mostly insolvent. The estimated loss to Chieagojinstitution3 is about $35,000,000, While their assets will not reach $400,000. These losses areestimated only, and may be slightly above or under what they adtually are, but they are sufficiently correct id give a fair idea of What oar *o»p»Afe4 my »We to do.

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 tne hair. Faded or gray hair is soon restored tQ its original color and the gloss and 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 trophied 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 ofl and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merelyfora w,SHAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cafeibric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.
