THE Principal ofone of the city schools has a favorite amusement. It consists in taking one of his mother's "wash tubs" after a heavy rain, and sailing around in the pond in the baek yard. We suppose he aspires to be a "Diogenese."

THE young ladies who was so much concerned at the great length of notes written by a certain young gentleman last evening at church will, perhaps, feel relieved on ksowing they were notes of the sermon, and were not written to the lady who accompanied the writer.

THE musical convention which closed last week at Sullivan, and has been under the conduct of Prof. E. C. Kilbourne, of this city, has been a fine success in every respect. The concert of last Friday, which closed the convention, was well attended, and all enjoyed greatly the fine music given.

WORK on the round house and machine shops of the Evansville, Terre Haute & Chicago Railrood, north of town, in the Early meadow, is progressing finely. The machine shops are up ready for the roof. There is some talk, however, of making in 40 feet longer. The round house, with eightstalls, is now ready for the roof. Quite a town is springing up iu the immediate neighborhood, and the railroad buildings are quite extensive and imposing. Mr. Jake Miller is the builder.

TEMPERANCE.

Extrncts from a Sermon by ROY. J. W. Wroen, at Centenary Church, Oct. 29, 1871.

We give below a somewhat extended extract from the sermou of Rev. J. W, Green, delivered last evening at the Centenary Methodist Church, and regret very much that we are unable to publish the same in full, as it was one of fine merit, and listened to by one of the largest audiences ever assembled in Centenary Church. May thene true words from this honest man of God, be instrumental iu saving many from the drunkard's grave, and may many others come forward boldly to assist in the great and good work of temperance: "There are two great evils against which as advocates of temperance we are called to contend. Namely: The manufacturing and vending of alcohol. Could we stop the manufacture, it would be to extinguish the volcano: could we stop the sale, it would be to build barriers at the base of the mountain agaiust its overflowing tires. The first we cannot hope to do we must conteut ourselves therefore for the present by doing what we can to obstruct the wide aud spreadiug desolation of the second. That we may give some idea of the great extent of the curse, let us present a few facts:

It is estimated that iu the Uuited States, there are 130,000 places licensed to sell spirituous liquors, and 390,000 persons are employed in them. Add to these the numbers employed in distilleries and wholesale liquor shops, and we have 570,000. On the other side, there are employed in this country 150,000 ministers aud teachers. While one olass is laboring to advance the country in moral and spiritual life, the other plies the work of death. The clergy cost the United States $12,000,000 anuually the criminals $40,000,000 the lawyers $80,000,000 the intoxicating drinks to satisfy depraved appetites, $700,000,000. The liquor traffic annually sends 100,000 persous to prison reduces 200,000 children to a state worse than orphanage sends 600.000 drunkards staggering on toward the tomb, beggaring their friends, and without a thought of reformation or hope of salvation. It annually lays $60,000 In the drunkard's grave, and brings tvoe, disease, misery, crime and death all over the laud. With these facts before us we conolude first, that the cause of temperauce is the cause of suffering humanity, and it is reasonable to expect the warmest sympathy and co-operation of all Christian people.

Tiie touching parable of the man who fell among thieves, teaches clearly that inditt'erence to human suffering is unnatural and iuexcusable in any one, but becomes abominable lu a professed Christian. The publio expectation is that in every measure for the moral elevation of society the Church should take the lead, aud nothing exposes religion to such reproach as the spectacle of a represeutatheof Him whocametosave the lost and heai the broken hearted, mauil'estiug opposition or indiftereuce to any cause intimately connected with the happiness of sooiety. If, then, human sorrows claim our fympatiiy, how intensely should we feel in view of vast aggregate of suffering now from the immediate and remote effects of intemperance. I have no heart to uarrate to its sad work—»o language to picture the misery of this vice, even in the present world. The sea of liquid fire that rolls boiling, seething, foaming Wuu4 us, iuw ueVfcr b#eu

fathomed—never will until the revelations of eternity open before us. Then, without lifting the vail to see how this sin kills beyond the tomb, I ouly utter a simple truism when I say that it desolates more homes— causes, more divorces—fills more prisons, asylums and penitentiaries—makes more paupers—supplies more victims for the scaffold—causes more financial embarrassment and mental and physical sufferings than any other and perhaps all other evils together. It is doubtful whether Satan could., by taxing infernal ingenuity, invent another piece of diabolical machinery which would be so successful in devilment as this. The Bible abounds in temperance lectures, and the business of the church is to forward the work of its author, which was to destroy the work of the devil, and surely this is Satan's masterpiece but Christ lias said it must be destroyed. The church was formerly more in earnest in this work. The first temperance society was organized by the church. T'he great Wiishinjrtonian reformation began in the houj'e of God, while from the pulpit a few inebriates heard the drunkard's dowm portrayed.

The great temperance movement known as the "Maine Law," is based upon the Bible principle that the way "to ^ret rid of a moral nuisance is not to license and regulate but to abolish and extirpate it." An especial reason for fidelity to the cause now, is the fact that temperance has not that hold on the popular heart that it once had. Little is being done to oppose the traffic, and intemperance is on the increase. Many once ardent friends, have concluded that total abstinence and prohibition are untenable grounds. Physicians prescribe wine and brandy, who years ago would not u^fi it. Families once members of temperance societies, patronize the public vender, or themselves manufacture wine from all kinds of fruits, from apples to elderberries to drink themselves and treat their friends. Is it strange then that habitsof intemperance are increasingand that men are bold and excessive in their indulgence

But why this bashfuluess and indifference on the one haud and this boldness on the other Has some physician ascertained that alcohol contains no mischief? Has some moralist found that its character as a murderer has been slandered Has some chemical Moses found the certain tree that has healed these bitter waters Has some preacher discovered that this sin does not kill beyond the tomb The way to account for it, is, that while we slept the enemy hath sown the evil seed, and hence the sad results.

In the second place, it was shown that the cause should enlist not only the Christian, but the patriotic heart. The great calamity to this country—the late rebellion—is not to be compared with this of intemperance. The dreaded scourge, cholera, comes where invited. In 1832 the city of Albany, New York, had 25,000 population 5,000 were members of temperance society, two of them died of cholera, of the rest one in sixty died. In Russia inebriates were swept off like swarms of flies. In the city ofTiflis, of 20,000 inhabitants, every drunkard died.

When our city fathers order streets, alleys, cellars, &c., cleaned to protect the health of the people aud to prepare for cholera, had they not better also ordtr the saloons "cleaned out." What has been done in different cities and counties in this State and Illinois can be done in Terre Haute, by wiseand united action."

Phenomena of the Wisconsin Fire. There are some phases of the great calamity which fell upon this region last week worthy of scientific investigation. The testimony of the cooler-headed survivors of the fires at Peshtigo, the Sugar Bush and Williamsonville is united as to one phenomena They say that the fire did not come upon them gradually from burniug trees or other objects to the wind wi.rd, but the first notice they had of it was a whirlwind of flame, in great clouds from above the tops of the trees, which fell upon and enveloped everything. The atmosphere seemed one of fire. The

Eot

oor people inhaled it, or the intensely air, and fell down dead. This is verified by the appearance of many of the corpses. They were found dead in the roads and open spaces where there were no visible marks of fire near by, with not a trace of burning upon their bodies or clothing.

At the Sugar Bush, which is an extended clearing, in some places four miles in width, corpses were found in the open road, between fences which were only slightly burned. No mark of fire was upon them, but they laid there, as if asleep.

This phenomena seems to explain the fact that so many were killed in compact masses. They seem to have huddled together in what were evidently regarded at the moment as the safest places, away from buildings, trees, or other inflammable material, aud there to have died together.

Fences around cleared fields were burnad in spots of ouly a few rods in length, and elsewhere not touched. Fish were killed in the streams—as at Peshtigo.

We hear the universal testimony that the prevailing idea among the terrorstricken people of those places was that the last day had come. They needed not to be terror-stricken for such imagiuIngs. What other explanations could be giveu at that imminent time, when there was an ominious warniug sound coming from the distance, when the sky, so

dark

just before, burst into great clouds

of fire, the beasts of the forest came running for succor into the midst of the settlements and a great, red, consuming, roaring hell of fire fell upon all round. The dreadful scene lacked nothing but the sounding of the last trump—and indeed the approach of tjie awful roaring aud the premonitions from the distance supplied even that to the appalled imaginings of the people.

The Epsy theory, we think it is, that continued and wide-spread fires, will bring on rain, seems to be entirely ex-

{asted

tloded in this instance. These fires had nearly or quite four weeks, ravaging forests over a great area, aud still not a drop of raiu. The rain only came with a change of wind to the northward, and several days after the worst burnings were over with.—Qreen Bay Advocate.

A row occuired late last niaht between a Mormon and United States Deputy Marshal, which resulted in the Marshal knocking the Mormon down and afterward arresting him. For a time it was reported that an attempt had been made to assasinate the Deputy, and there was great excitement. All quiet, now, and no indication of disturbance. The late arrests have, however, created a marked depression in the Mormon community.

Elder Geo. D. Connor arrived this morning from San Francisco, and preached this evening in the large tabernacle, to an audience numbering at least 10,000. His mind had evidently undergone a remarkable change, for he counselled his hearers to abstain from any act of violence, and to submit to the law. God would protect them aud deliver them from their persecutions. The crusade agaiust them he said would only strengthen and glorify them in the end. Their church could not be overturned, their faith was the inspiration of the Divine Spirit and would endure forever.

CHICAGO, Oct. 29.—'Therie was some talk yesterday and day before of a strike for higher wages by bricklayers, but they finally concluded not to do so. A strike among bricklayers would, of course, suspend all wock iu the burnt districts, except the men clearing away rubbish, and would throw out of employment not only the bricklayers themselves, but the carpenters, stone cutters, furniture makers, gas fitters, plumbers, iron workers, etc. Tbe price now paid for good. bricklayers is $4.50 per day, which is one dollar per day more than they obtained previous to the fire. The general impression is that at this price building will proceed steadily through the winter. There are many masons, carpenters,.etc., comiug to this city

It is understood that all the property holders on Michigan avenue frouting on the proposed Union Central Depot, with a single exception, have withdrawn their opposition to the sale of the ground on which the depot is to be erected. The only objector will withdraw his opposition ou condition ,that the railway companies will build bridges across the mouth of Chicago river at a cost of $75,000. This will probably be done, and tne injunction which restrained the sale to the companies will be withdrawn. When this is accomplished there will be no legal obstacle to the occupation of the grounds, and the railway companies will at once proceed toerect the building.

LONDON, Oct. 28.—The Mansion House fund for Chicago amounts to £42,250. Belfast subscription £5,000. Liberal contributions are received from towns in Ulster.

It is estimated that nearly 12.000 persons were at Greenwich to near tbe speech of Gladstone. When the sneaker arrived at noon he was greeted with cheers, and said he was profoundly impressed with the grandeurof the welcome. He then discussed subjects agitating the public. The chief complaint against the government was that it attempted too much, more subjects, than it was possible to carry iuto immediate effect. Tne present Liberal administration had the longest life of any administration since 1832. There is reason to believe that its vitality is unimpaired. Facts connected with dismissals from the docket records were grossly exaggerated. The total number of men discharged was only 1,463, a reduction in accordance with the policy of his predecessor. The economies of the present government were thorough, abolition or official patronage gratifying. There was reason for congratulation over the abolition of the purchase system in the army.

SALT LAKE, Oct. 29.—Hundreds of people, principally Mormons, visited Camp Douglass to-day, to see Mayor Wells and the other prisoners. General Morrow gave the visitors unrestricted access to their friends, and by his courteous remarks and manner inspired a much better feeling than might hare been expected under the circumstances. The arrested parties are quartered in a comfortable and well furnished cottage, and seem quite cheerful. A guard of soldiers march to and fioon the outside.

from Canada, where wages are low and business dull. Any reasonable number that come can't fail to get all the work they want through the winter.

It is understood that proper Government officials will make recommendations to Congress to provide liberally for Chicago in the way of erection of Government buildings. The old custom house and postoffice combined in one building was not sufficient in capacity for the Government business transacted there, and it has been suggested that the Government purchase adjoining lots directly to the west of the present locality. This suggestion seems to have exalted the ideas ol owners of property wanted on Monroe street, and they now ask all the way from two thousand to three thousand dollars per front foot for their lots, which is largely in advance ot the price asked previous to the fire. The Government will not feel obliged to pay these prices, and if holders do not come down in their views, the government buildings will probably be located at some other point.

ROME, Oct. 28.—An allocution of the Pope is published, in which, while he recognizes the Bishops, appointed by the Italian Government as possessing the requisite qualifications, he solemnly repudiates Italy's guarantees, and protests against the invasion of the Holy See. He also condemns the course of Duellinger, and such as are following bis example in warniug against the decisions of the Ecumenical Council.

FKANKFORT, Oct. 28.—The operative:of Chemnitz, a large manufacturinM town in Saxony, havestruok work. They demand a reduction of time to ten hour.-, and increased pay for overwork. In consequence, the operations of twenty factories have been suspended.

NEW YORK, October 28.—Chas.O'Connor states that it can be clearly shown that Tweed and his associates fraudulently obtained from the Broadway Bank, without color of right, some $5,000,000, and that a recovery can be obtained from Tweed, unless interfered with by corrupt legislation, yvitbin ninety days. Woodward was the corrupt agent through whom Tweed worked.

An opportunity will be shortly given to show how the warrants were obtained from Connolly's office. O'Connor does not believe Mayor Hall either had a dollar or knew what was going on, but he blames the Mayor for standing by the others,and acting as a shield afterthe facts Were known. The burden of the proof lies agaiust him. If Inyersoll does not leave he will be arrested, and probbnly lose all his property. Mr. O'Connor'.efforts will be to protect what is left, and to prevent the recurrence ot the robberies.

He says Tweed hopes to get into tbe Legislature again, have more corrupt bills passed, tro back to his office in the Board of Public Works, and carry on his' former transactions. This, O'Connor says, must be prevented. Tweed shall have all the investigation he yvahts.

A levy was made yesterday ou the straw goods factory of Vanderhoff & Beatty for $75,000, an interest in that firm owned by E. A. Woodward, upon the suit of Jackson S. Schultz, in behalf of the Citizens' Committee for the city. Levies will be made to-day on the pro perty of Ingersoll, Garvey and Tweed, as co-defendants.

Suit has been commenced in the name of Jackson S. Schultz against E. A Woodward, for the recovering of $19,342.52, for goods sold and delivered and work done during 1860, '70 and '71, by Keyser, w.ho has transferred the claim to Schultz.

The bankers of Wall street advanced $52,000 to-day to pay the wages of public laborers.

All the journals to-day have full accounts of the incidents attending the arrest of Tweed. No papers appear to have any sympathy for him, except the Star. The Sun heads its account of the revelations by the Citizens' committee, which have been already telegraphed "The Day of Judgment." The Times congratulates the public ou the general smoking out of the den of thieves.

The Tribune thinks the robbers are enmeshed by tbe array. The World be lieves the last stage of the preposterous villainy has been reached that the arch knave and engineer of frauds is iu a fair way to get his deserts that if Tweed is re-elected to the Senate, he should not be permitted to take his seat

"nit Against tlie Secretary of the Treasury for Two Mil ions—An Englishman Claims to Have Originated the Secretary's Financial Policy, and Wants

Compensation. NEW YORK, October 28.—On Friday evening, as Secretary Boutwell entered Steinway Hall to deliver a lecture, a summons was served upon him in the name of B. Clifford Galvin, Esq., by counselor William H. Schooley. The writ was based on acivil suitcommenced by Mr. Galvin, wherein he claims two millions damages. The plaintiff seriously alleges that the financial policy carried out by Secretary Boutwell is his property that Boutwell agreed to pay him a just considera ion for siiggesting the same, ind that the Secretary is endeavoring to lefratid him of his honest dues.

Mr Galvin is an Englishman, and has made some reputation in his native land and in Canada as a financier. He was long connected with the Barings of Lou don, and successfully resisted the famous Grand Trunk Railway Bill in the Can adian Parliament. His resistance saved £16,000,000 to the stockholders of the Grand Trunk Railway. He came to this country in July, 1867, on business of his own connected with railways. Being a financier, he naturally turned his attention •o the embarrassing condition which the Treasury of the United States had then been reduced. He eliminated a grand scheme for equalizing the value of gold aud currency, which he considered tbe true secret for securing the prosperity of the country.

In September, 1868, he had matured his plan, and in June, 1869, he wrote to Secretary Boutwell, offering to submit it to his consideration. B-utwell paid no mt^ution to the communication, and in July Mr. Galvin went to Washington. He called on Secretary Boutwell, sent in his card, and was admitted. The two, however, were unable to come to terms, and Mr. Galvin left without communicating his plans. Afterwards Mr. Galvin was brought to the recollection of the Secretary by Mr. Ephriam Tripp, of Boston, a personal friend of both. Through this gentleman Boutwell sent a request to Mr. Galvin to submit his plans, and if they were adopted he promised a liberal compensa'ion. He likewise hinted at the possibility of appointing Mr. Galvin to a position in the Treasury, should his ability prove equal to the recommendation of Mr. Tripp. On the faith of these promises the financier visited the Secretary at his residence in Groton, ami gave 'him a copy of the plans, at the same explaining and elaborating on their details. Boutwell received them, and promised a careful examination, aud liberal payment iu case they were adopted.

This was September 14, 1864. Secretary Boutwell came to New York and went hence to Washington. A portion of the agreement between him and Mr. Galvin was that the lattershould be notified, in case of the adoption of his scheme, at least ten days before it went into operation. Boutwell, at Washington, made his boast that he had a financial scheme which would redeem the credit of the country, and bring gold eventually on a par with greenbacks. On the 25th of September this scheme was put in operation. It was Mr. Galvin's plan from first to last. On the very day of its inauguration, the Secretary wrote his only letter to the financier whose brains bad furnished him a policy. He said in that letter that Mr. Galvin's plan's were not admissable.,

Mr. Galvin wisely kept quiet for a month until the plan had been fairlj tested, aud its feasibility demonstrated to the public. Then he took means to recover his documents and to

force

the

Secretary to fullfill his promise of compensation. His letters to Boutwell remained unanswered, but he finally got possession of the plans, and then he determined to appeal to the law. An attempt was made to arrest Boutwell, in Chicago, in May, 1870, but h^escaped by reducing his anticipated visit of ten to three days. He has not been within reach of Mr. Galvin since, until tbe 21st of September last, when he was in this city. On that day the writ aforementioned was drawn up, but the Secretary again escaped. Ou Friday evening, however, Mr. Galvin pounced upon Mr. Boutwell, and the prospect is that the Secretary may soon find himself in hot water.

Progress in tiie South.

An evidence ot the good faith which the respectable classes of the Southern people' are manifesting in their acceptance^ofthe changed coudition of pub. lie affairs is to be found in the action of Virginia iu relation to schools.

It is unquestionably the fact that the Conservative party of that State were formerly so far behind the spirit of the age as to be strongly opposed to the establishment of common schools to be supported by

general

taxation but un­

der the new Constitution such a system was provided for, and tbe Conservative Legislature appears to have carried out the provisionsof the instrument in regard to this matter faithfully and energetically. Dl.M.g 11 ej ighieen months that have elapsed since the election of a Superintendent of Public Instruction, fully three thou-and schools have been established, where the children of black as well as white parents can receive free instruction and this work has been accomplished at a time of great public distres-, while the Sheriff has been celling lands and even farming implements to secure the payment of the taxes. These schools have been organized by a Conservative Board of Education and a Conservative Superintendent of Public Instruction, quietly but effectively while the carpetbag olticials of Texas, with a great pretended zeal for universal education, have been taxing the inhabitants of that unfortunate State enormous sums for the erection of school houses which in many cases have ueVer been built at all.—JV.

HAIR VISOR.

AlEB'S

HAIR YIGOR,

For the Renovation of the Hair!

The Great Desideratum of the Age!

A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hair. Faded or gray hair 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 oft 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, 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.
