DIGEST OF TERRITORIAL LAWS.—Colonel William L. Gross, one of the editors of the Illinois Legal Directory, published at Springfield, has been in this city looking up references to the Territorial Statutes of Indiana between the years 1809, when the Territory of Illinois was taken from Indiana, and in 1816, when the latter was made a State. It is the Colonel's intention to prepare a full digest o! all laws promulgated in Indiana during that period, to be used as an addition to the statutes of Illinois, which is now in press. The work will be one of great value, and the reputation of Mr. Gross guarantees that the labor on it will be faithfully and correctly done.—Indianapolis Journal.

The Gross brothers are also aluthors of the "Illinois Digest," or laws of Illinois, which immediately upon their publication were made the standard. All the laws passed by legislation in the State are carefully compiled and added to the work. All their publications are standard ones.

AN ANIMAL CIRCUS.

A Spiritual Monkey.

The animal circus yesterday, was largely attended both afternoon %nd evening. Most all of the truly pious portion of the city was present. The performances of the monkeys, mules, dogs and goats, were of a highly moral and spiritual character, especially that part of the performance where a performing monkey is tendered and accepts a glass of gin from his instructor. That was decidedly spiritual, though it provoked an exclamation of holy horror from a 'saintly self-sacrificing gentleman with snowy locks, who is a great champion of the Sunday laws. Notwithstanding this spiHt-ual ireak of one of the long tailed representatives of the ancestors of the present degenerate race of mankind, according to Darwin, the show was a moral one as compared to circuses in ^general. The scenes where enterprising attachees were foiled in their attempts to ride a performing mule around the ring, were decidedly funny, and several pieces of ministerial cloth were observed much agitated by the mirthfuluess of the wearers.

A GRATIFYING ANNOUNCEMEJJTT.—It is highly gratifying to us to announce to our readers that Messrs. Leake,Diokson & White, lessees of the iDdianapolis Academy of Music, have secured the Opera House in this city, for a short season, aud will introduce the popular comedian, Mr. Lawrence P., Barrett, to a yerre Haute audience on Monday evening of the coming week, for a season of three consecutive evenings. Mr. Barrett is one of the most finished and artistic actors on the American stage, and will make a big hit, we feel assured. That sterling sheet, the Indianapolis evening News, says of him:

Lawranoe Barrett is finer aotor in every particular than when he first visited this oity, anew star, some half a dozen years ago. We thought him excellent then, although "new in the business." Now he is about as near a perfect actor in his line, as treads the stage. With a voice clear, full and sonorous, a faoe capable of the most varied expression and perfectly under his ooutrol, a splendid form having the bearing, grace ana ease of an accomplished prince, Mr. Barrett is able to make, of Elliott Grey, in "Rosedale, or the Fatal Bullet," a most perfect character presentation. The dare-devil dragoon, bold, fearless, yet good-natured and affable, finds an excellent representative in this highly-finished aotor. We are all familiar with "Rosedale," eminently a play of plots, counterplots and interesting denouements. It is a play that never dissapoints the observer, and withal, so intricate is the plot that he is utterly unable to unravel it in advanoe. The result is an unflagging interest is maintained to the end. At the end of the fourth act in the Gypsy's Dell, one of the most striking tableaux of the modern drama. In short, the play abounds in tableaux, all of which are more or less interesting. Mr. Barrett was well supported, for a first presentation.

Air. White as Esquire Bunoerry Kobb, was "immense" and effectually brought the house down, although uncpnsciously on two occasions. Miss Fletcher's Rosa Leigh was admirable, as was Mrs. Moore's Tabitha Stork. Miss Mortimer's Lady Florence was fair. The other parts were quite acceptably taken. A splendid audience as to number and social position greeted the performance.

DRAMATIC NOTES.

accomplished and popular actors on the American stage, will make a first appearance in this city Monday evening of next week, for an engagement of three nights. He is now filling an engagement at the Indianapolis Academy of Music.

MRS. FRODSHAM, sister of Mrs. Seguin the favorite opera singer, became Insane in Chicago during the fire, and died Sunday.—Springfield Journal.

Mrs. Seguin is well and favorably known here as a member of the Hess English Opera Combination. Several days since we copied an item from the New York Associated Press dispatches to the effect that this distinguished artist swooned in the midst of an act, upon the receipt of the death of her sister.

1

The following amusements are booked for the Opera House: Lisa Weber, three nights Lawrence Barrett, three nights Fanny Price, ten nights Black Crook several nights, and the Rankin Comedy Company six nights. Besides this three nights of minstrelsy are booked for Dowling Hall, and. of course there will be other amusements made from time to time for both places, which will ensure a lively time in amusement circles for the next six weeks.

Another Capital Wedding.

Indianapolis enjoyed another wedding in high life last evening, that of Mr. Jas B. Dickson, of the firm of Leake & Dickson, and Miss Emma Butsch, both of Indianapolis, and whose fathers are the firm of Butsch & Dickson, heavy coal dealers and capitalists. Of the brilliant afTair the Sentinel says:

The wedding of Mr. James B. Dickson and Miss Emma Butsch, which took place at the residence of the Jbride's father, Mr. Valentine Butsch, 5HNorth Meridian street, last night, was. the most brilliant affair of the season. The large and elegant mansion of Mr. Butsch was thronged with invited guests—there being not less than two hundred present—and was ablaze with light and beauty.

The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. P. E. Kumler, and was characterized by commendable brevity. In this alone was any degree of simplicity manifested, the usual accompaniments of bridesmaids and groomsmen being dispensed with. The bride was charmingly ar^fcyed and never looked lovelier, while the groom, though fully as ncrvouB as the circumstances justified, bore himself most creditably—only making a single faux pas during the whole evening, in calliug the third'floor of the house the "family circle."

After the ceremony was concluded and the happy pair had received the congratulations of tneir friends, the host led the way to the dining hall, where was spread the most tempting array of edibles and wines that ever greeted the eyes of a party in Indianapolis. It would be useless to attempt a description of this magnificent spread. Nothing short of a dozen bills of fare would suffice to enumerate the thousand and one beautiful designs in iceB, jellies, confectionery cakes, etc., which loaded down the vast tables, while wines of the rarest vintage sparkled in every goblet. The supper was gotten up under the supervision of the "irrepressible Frenchman" of the Academy Restaurant, and reflected the highest credit upon the establishment. The festivities were kept up till a late hour, and never was there a happier gathering in the city. The full City Band—twenty pieces—led by Profesor Vought,discoursed "most eloquent music."

Among tne bridal presents were every description of silver ware, and many other articles of value.

The newly married pair leave this morning for Louisville and the South, on the customary bridal tour, earring with ^hem, the good wishes of a host of friends. igH _—

Treatment of Window Plants. I find that so many ladies have attempted to bloom plants in rooms in winter, and failed, that if you will permit me I will give a few hints to those interested. First, then, the great cause of failure is trying to grow them in too warm a room next, keeping them in too large pots and overfeeding them. Ladies having no green houses should only grow those plants most hardy— such as geraniums, roses, feverfew, sweet alyssum. mignonette ana the blue browalla, all beautiful, bright, and constant bloomers.

I take my geraniums up in September am careful not to break the roots shake all the soil off cut them down to within six inches of the root, put them in as small a pot as the roots will allow—say three or four inch pots. My soil is turf mold, sand, and a little well decayed manure. Feverfews do not .need cutting, except to take out the old flower stalk. Sweet alyssum, if it has been growing all summer, must be cut back. Leave them out doors as long as the weather will admit, then place them in a cool room. Ifyouhavean old table you do not care for, nail a four-inch board around it to form a sink, and fill-it with sand to sef your pots in it will keep the roots from drying, save watering them, and keep the water from dripping on the floor when you water them.

If you have a south window that is just the thing mine faces the east. I keep them in an upper hall window until I had a greenhouse, and I had them look splendidly all winter. The hall is in the center of the,house, and of course is quite protected but they had no fire. By keeping the plants I have named cool, but not allowing them to freeze, they will do well (such as has been my own experience), and they are easily cared for. MKS. 8. J. H.

Girls Should Learn to Keep House. No young lady can be too well instructed in anything which will affect the comfort of a family. Whatever position in society she occupies, she needs practical knowledge of household duties. She may be placed in such that it will not be necessary for her to perform such domestic labor, but on this account she needs no less knowledge than if she presided personally over the cooking stove and pantry. Indeed, I have thought it is more difficult to direct others, and required more experience, than to do the same work with our own hands.

Mothers are frequently so bice and particular they do not like to give up any part of the care to their children. This is a great mistake in their managenjent, for they are often burdened with labor, and need relief. Children should be taught early to make themselves useful, to assist their parents every way in their

So

ower, and to consider it a privilege to so.

DEATH.—Death is but a kind of wetcome servant who unlocks with noiseless hands life's flower-encircled door to show to us those we love. Mourn not the living dead they who have passed from the life to one of higher activity. They who walk with us day and night, calling us away from solid cares to things that perish not they are not "dead" bat they are dead whose aimless souls refleet ho glory on their path. Our Father waits to greet us beyond the sea of death. When the waves break on the shores of the life eternal, He will come to bear us in safety

CHICAGO BELIEF BECIEPTS.

Total Amount Reeeived $1,486,986.

Many Insurance Companies Faying Promptly.

&c. &c., &c.

[Associated Press Dispatches.].

CHICAGO, Oct. 25.—George M. Pull man, treasurer, reports the following as the receipts for the relief of the Chicago poor:

Cash received in direct remittances, five hundred and nine thousafld two hundred and seventy-nine dollars.

By an oversight, in the hurry and ex citement which has characterized our city for the past two weeks, the liberal contributions for the Chicago suffering poor, from Louisville, Kentucky, and Titusville, Pennsylvania, have not been properly acknowledged. Both were munificent.

Potter Palmer is pushing up his new grand hotel as fast as possible. When the fire took place the walls were up to the first story of the superstructure. They were not damaged materially. He will have a full force on during the winter, and expects to have it up to the top of the fourth story by June. The stores in the first story he will have ready for occupation on the first of January. They will rent, when ready, for $40,000.

The banks are running smoothly, They have few calls for loans, and deposits are abundant. Many of the Eastern and European insurance companies are paying their losses promptly, and these funds furnish our merchants with money to purchase goods and to capitalists who are preparing to rebuild. The grain, lumber and live stock markets are brisk and as much is doing as before the fire, in lumber much more, It may seem strange, but mechanics are wanted. Carpenters, masons and almost every other class are in demand at moderate wages.

The total amount for which drafts have been drawn, and to be forwarded for collection, etc., is eight hundred and nintysix thousand seven hundrel and nine dollars. The aggregate receipts are one million four hundred ejghty-six thousand nine hundred and eighty-six dollars. Of this sum thirty-four thousand four hundred ninety dollars have been distributed, the balance remaining on hand. The comnmtee estimate that they will require one million nine hundred and seventyfive thousand dollars for the next thirty days.

The combination of the two political parties for the next city and county election, has not yet been fully consummated, owing to the large number of candidates and diversity of views of those engaged in the work of combining but the work will probably be finally consummated, at least that is the prevailing opinion. There is no diversity of feeling in regard to the nomination of Mr. Medill for Mayor, Mr. Gage for City Treasurer, and Mr. Jameson for Judge of the Superior Court. They are all popular. The nomination of Mr. Ham for County Treasurer proving very generally unpopular, Mr. Phillip has been substituted for Mr. Ham.

CHICAGO, Oct. 25.—The schooner R. P. Mesner, of this port, on the 9th inst., during the prevalence of a fierce gale, struck a rock on Crane Island, in Lake Michigan, and soon filled. The crew were taken off by a fishing vessel, and taken to Mackinaw. Preparations were then made to get the vessel off. Pumps were rigged, and after a few days' efforts the vessel was got off. While the Leviathan was towing her ashore she filled with water and capsized, and five out of nine on board perisned before relief came. It is charged that they cut loose from the schooner when it. became evident that she must sink, and left, making no effort to save her. The crew of the schooner suffered terribly, five dying from exposure.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 25.—Senator Morton and W. P. Fish back start for home to-day.

A terrible riot has been in progress at Lo^Angelos, which was a very disgraceful affair, and which resulted in several deaths, several Chinamen being hanged.

A Chinaman shot a citizen, and when attempted to be arrested by an officer his friends opened fire on the officers and one of them was killed. A mob composed mostly of native Californians then assailed the Chinese and hanged fifteen of them.

NEW YORK, October 25.—A special from Niagara Falls states that the wood in Tamarack Swamp, seven miles souteast of Lockport, has been burning since Monday. A number of horses, barns, crops and stock were destroyed. It is feared the fire will spread. The Batavia farmers are fleeing with their stock of furniture.

The fire east of Albion is subdued, but another broke out five miles north of that place. The loss since Sunday at Albion is $50,000. Ten houses, two flour mills and fifteen hundred cords of wood were burned there.

There are reports of large fires in the woods radiating in all directions from the Cumberland Mountains. That section is subject to frequent fires, which often do immense damage. The bituminous coal fields are threatened.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 25.—The municipal election resulted in the choice of Joshua Vansandt, Democrat, for Mayor by 18,237 votes, to 10,923 for Charles Dunlap, the National Reform candidate. The first branch of the City Council stands nineteen Democratic to orfe Reformer, chosen in the Fifteenth Ward by two majority. The second branch of ten members are all Democratic except one in doubt, and a recount is necessary to determine. Tfti# Republicans had no ticket in the fleld. -y^c

MILWAUKEE, October 25.—The relief committee for the northern sufferers by the late fires desire to say to the generous public that the supply of men and boys' clothing now at this point and on the way for the sufferers in the burnt districts of Wisconsin and the adjacelit portions of Michigan, is ample for all present wants. Heavy aud warm clothing for women and children is still needed, especially under-garments. The essential thing required .is money, with which to purchase provisions, materials, tools and implements for building houses, barns, shops and mills, for buying horses, oxen, hay and feed. From fifteen hundred to two thousand families are to be housed, fed and clothed until the next harvest from the supplies which must come, chiefly through the committee. Money may be sent to Alexander Mitchell, treasurer.

WASHINGTON,Oct 25.—The Secretaiy of War Has dismissed from the Military Academy, for violence and harrassing other Cadets, Cadets John W. Wilson, Dewitt Clinton Frazier, 3. F. Hubbeil, JohnL. Stiles, and for the same cause ordered*that Cadets. Miller and Hammond be deprived of their next furlough, and be confined to the limits of the Academy grounds.

England was to cooperate with France, and was willing to promise France in return her assistance in the rectification of her frontiers on the Rhine by the annexation of a portion of the Rhenish Provinces. Rouher asked time to consider, but three days from the time they were" presented to him Napoleon accepted them. Lord Cowley immediately communicated the the Emperor's acceptance to his Government, whereupon Lord Russell replied that it was too late, as her Majesty's Government had decided not to interfere in the case of iTenmark. No attempts were made to re-open the subject.

It is alleged that many of the stockholders are insolvent, and their notes cannot be collected.

The Value of Time.

When the Roman Emperor said, have lost a day," he uttered a sadder truth than if he had exclaimed, "I have lost a kingdom." Napoleon said that the reason why he beat the Austrians was, that they did not know the value of five minutes. At the celebrated battle of Rivoli, the conflict seemed on the point of being decided against him. He saw the critical state of affairs, and instantly took his resolution. He dispatched a flag to the Austrian headquarters with proposals for an armistice. The unwary Au* trians fell into a snare. For a few minutes the thunders of battle were hushed. Napoleon seized the precious moment, and while amusing the enemy with mock negotiations, re-arranged his line of battle, changed his front, and in a few minutes was ready to renounce the force of discussion for the stern arbitrament of arms. The splendid .victory of Rivoli was the result. The great moral victories and defeats of the world often turn on five minutes. Crises come, the not seizing of which is ruin. Men may loiter but time flies on the wings of the wind, and all the great interests of life are speeding on, with the sure -and^silent tread of destiny.

Simple Cure for the Headache. The Omaha Herald says: "If the saying is true that 'he who causes two blades of grass to grow where only one grew before is a public benafactor,' how much more is he who discovers a remedy for one of the most distressing diseases that a poor human is heir to Having been afflicted many years with neuralgia headache, and after trying all the remedies! could hearof without any benefit, I had given up all hope of cure, and having an elder brother die of the disease, and told by the doctors there was no cure for it, I happily thought of trying salt, and in a short time I was delighted to see it had the best results. It is now about two months since I tried the experiment, and I have notbeeu troubled with it since. Now I want to let 'the whole world and-the rest of mankind' know the remedy, audit if so simple any one can use it. Take a pinch of salt, and snuff it up the nostrils until you can taste the salt in your throat. Do not blow your nose for a considerable time, but, as the water runs, snuff it up until you can spit it out of your mouth. In changeable weather, or if you feel any return of it, repeat the remedy."

—c A Wise Answer. The celebrated Aboo Yusurph, who was Judge of Badgad in the reign of the Caliph Hadee, was a very remarkable instance of that humility which distinguished true wisdom. His sense of his own deficiencies often led him to entertain doubts, where men of less knowledge and more presumption were decided.

HAIR YIGOR,

For the Renovation of the Hair! The Great Desideratum of the Age I

A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hair. Faded or gray hceir is soon restored to 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 merely for a

HAIR DRESSING, J,nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.
