THE printer made us call the "Amusement Record" the "step-son of the Daily Express." We intended to say step-child, for really the sex of the vivacious little publication is a mystery to us.—Journal. "Let the dead rest." Its sex is no matter now.
OUR city is becoming noted for the pretty young girls now growing into womanhood—girls full of wit, with rosy cheeks and pretty eyes, whom we see in every assemhly, or meet daily as we pass along the streets. Their happy faces are the delight of fond parents, the subject of the grave reflections of "old bachelor."
BAYARD TAYLOR lecturers at College Chapel, Greencastle, to-morrow evening. The lecture business is getting rather obsolete, but Taylor is one of its best repre-sentatives.—-Express. "Which, if you mean" that Taylor is becoming obsolete with that business, or a little in advance of it, "makes one think you speak plaiD, and quite truly."
MR. MARK SMITH, with his Comedy Company will appear at Dowling Hall Monday evening, in the flue play of "The Fine Old English Gentleman," and "Nine Points of the Law." Mr. Smith's reputation is so great it is hardly necessary to say much about him in order to secure a large attendance.
DR. VON VLECK & Co., the great Medium and Spiritual exposers and* detectives, give a grand expose at Dowling Hall, to-morrow and Friday evenings. All the tricks and doings of the Davenport Brothers, Mrs. Ferris, &c., &c., will be exposed iu detail. We hope a large number will attend and see for themselves the folly and nonsense of all this Spiritual humbuggery.
IN a temperance sermon delivered at Terre Haute, Sunday evening, the Rev. J. W. Green is reported to have said that$he liquor traffic "annually lays $60,000 in the drunkard's grave." If this be so, the drunkard's family ought to, by all means, exhume thejtreasure.—Ind. Sentinel.
The speaker said "annually lays 60,000 persons in the dtunkard's grave," but
even
if your version were true, your
suggestion would be out of the question, as the family would be too poor to procure a shovel or a pick.
JACOB H. HAGER, one of our prominent citizens fell insensible this morning at fifteen minutes before twelve, on Sixth street, between Dowling Hall and Main street, from general congestion. He was carried by Mr. Oscar Bankin and others to Col. Dowling's private room in Dowling Hall, and at the hour of writing has returned to consciousness and is feeling comparatively easy. He will remain at the Hall all night, as his position is too critical to allow of his removal. Drs. Mali an and Bell are the attendant pby-
HURRAH !—"Old White," as he is familiarly called, of the Aoademy of Music Company, now playing at the Opera House, received, at 12 o'clock last evening, the following dispatch: iiMr.
F. O. White, National House: You are the happy father of a pair of twins—both boys, mother and children doing well. CHARLIE."
Very little sleep for White last night. He paced the floor until 5 A. M., when he started for the depot, on foot, refusing to wait for the street car, and left for Indianapolis, to see the "boys." He will return this afternoon, and will tell us all about it at the Opera House this evening.
THE question of exciting interest now is, how is the "aforesaid Wm. F. Willard," the brother-in-law of the said Jennie Ferris?
Did the aforesaid Willard marry the said Jennie's sister, or the said sister become the affinity of the aforesaid Willard? Did the said Ferris become wedded to the aforesaid Willard's brother, or the aforesaid brother become thespouseof the said Jennie? /Which, or all, or how 4 'H:
If the aforesaid Jennie is the spouse of the said Willard, then her name is W., and not F. but if the said W. is the lawfully wedded husband of the said Jennie's sister, then the "woman in black," is a feme sole.
WE have just received the initial number of CrofutVs Western World,& monthly, published in New York, and devoted to "Railroad and kindred interests of the great West, and to information for tourists, miners and settlers beyond the Mississippi." It is well printed, on the best paper, and is foil of good reading matter of the kind indicated by the title. The first page of the present number is embellished with a wood out of unusual merit, representing progress. In the foreground is a female figure representing progress leading in her train, the pioneers, then emigrants, the telegraph, railroads and all the improvements of civilisation. We commend the paper to Ihepublto'
A CARD FROM DR. TON YLECK.
A Liberal Offer—Will it be Accepted? Editor of the Terre Haute Gazette: SIR—It is frequently asserted by Spiritualists that a person who is morally depraved may, nevertheless, be a most excellent medium for "pbyiscal Spiritual manifestations." Therefore, Mrs. Jennie Ferris will have gained a point, at least, if it does not clearly appear that her "mediumship" is an imposition.
I offer to her the gross pecuniary proceeds of my entertainment in Dowling Hall, on Thursday or Friday evening of this week, if on either of
those
occasions
she will appear and exhibit(?) in her assumed capacity what I cannot myself perform and explain, without admitting the Spiritual hypothesis—the majority present to decide as to the success of either party. I will treat her fairly, and afford the same conditions under which she usually exhibits.
Respectfully, W. F. VON.VLECK, Medium Detictive. TEERE HAUTE, IND., NOV. 1,1871.
A FAIR SHOW.—I wish simply to state that I was never back of the Opera House stage on the evening of a theatrical performance, and that on the evening in question I did not speak to the manager or any one connected with the company on this pr any other subject, while in the Opera House building. The boy who distributed the Record, had the written permission of Manager White, and there was no occasion for asking for "just this one time." P. S. WESTFALL.
We give Mr. W. the benefit of the denial, and at the same time admit that we were deceived iu the matter by an employe of the Opera House, who informed us that Mr. W. was the party who went behind the scenes to interview the manager. This morning we find, upon inquiry, that it was Mr. Hebb, the agent of Mr. W., who did the "boring" upon the occasion mentioned, so the difference is the same as that between "tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee."
OPERA HOUSE.—The audience at the Opera House last evening to witness the charming comedy of "Rosedale" was as large as could have been expected considering the rain and mud making the streets almost impassable for the ladies. The play was first-class, even an improvement upon the opening night. Tonight they give "Saratoga" with Mr. Barrett as "Bob Sackett." Of course everybody will be on hand to see this new plav. Mr. B. is said to be immense as "Bob.," and White as "Vanderpool" will test the buttons. Miss Kate Fletcheras that "Effie Remington" cannot fail to please, as character is admirably suited to her style. No doubt the Opera House will be crowded, many reserved seats having been sold already.

The newest shape in bonnets or hats, or both, is high-crowned and helmetshaped, a military'looking affair, with a small brim, which sits on the head like a soldier's casque.
Fashionable ladies, who want blonde hair, may bathe their black tresses with cider, lemon juice or soda water. Whisky may also be wasted for the same purpose.
Hair-pins to match the color of the hair are coming into vogue among the ladies—a fact we fondly chronicle, as it is a shuddering sight to see black pins running through a red head.
Gentlemen have adopted the fashion of wearing charms on the sides of their hats. We have seen thus worn little gold bugles, ivory croquet mallets and some hot-headed youths even sport a small thermometer.
Very pretty hoods for ladies are now made of squares of cashmere folded iu a triangular manner, like a shawl, fitted over the forehead by three box pleats in the long side, and tied under the chin by a cord and tassel, the lower edge being trimmed with a heavy fringe.
THE following story is related by Mr. Jefferson, concerning the first Continental Congress: "Delegate Harrisou, of Virginia, desiring to Stimulate,' presented himself ana a friend at a certain place where supplies were furnished Congress, and ordered two glasses of brandy-and-water. The man in (jharge replied that liquors were not included in the supplies furnished Congressmen. 'Why,' said Harrison, what is it, then, that I see the New England members'come here and drink?' 'Molasses-and-water, which they have charged as stationery,1 was the reply. 'Then give me brandy-and-water,' quoth Harrison, 'and charge it as fueU
A TUNNEL under the English Channel, from Dover to Calais, is projected. Engineers declare that it is practicable at a cost of $50,000,000. A company has been chartered to perform the work, and agree to have it completed in fouryears. The journey from England to France can then be made in thirty minutes, and a very unpleasant trip acrow the channel avoided.

The International Secretary is at the bottom Of the plot, and the men arrested are for the most part members of that organization.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.—The President, Secretary of War and Gen. Sherman are now engaged in rearranging the military departments of the country. All the members of the Cabinet were at the session to-day.
Assessor Shattack, of Mississippi, reports that on the night of the 23d inet., an attempt was made to burn the Assessor's office at Okolona, but the fire was exthlgtfi§hed before material damage was done. The Assessor thinks there is no doubt that the firing: was done by the friends of a party of Ku Klux, five of whom had been arrested that evening and confined in his house. Threats are freely made against the life of Mr. Hall, the Assessor's clerk, for the part he took in the affair. Assessor Shattack suggests that troops be stationed there for the protection of Government property. The excitement runs high.
At the Cabinet meeting a petition from Chicago was read, signed by the representatives of both political parties, asking that troops be stationed in that city for the protection of property, those which were there immediately after the fire having been withdrawn.

The Government will continue the prosecutions in Utah. If necessary troops will be sent to that Territory. It is known that some Federal officers asked for troops to aid in making arrests, but this is considered to be inexpedient unless resistence renders additional force necessary.

NEW YORK, October 31.—The situation in municipal affairs remains unchanged.
The rumors which were circulated yesterday by the evening papers, to the effect that Tweed had resigned his position in the Department of Public Works, and had withdrawn as a candidate for Senator, proves to be incorrect. He has not withdrawn from either position and does not intend to do so at present, if at all.

shown to Tweed is to be used toward the co-defendant. Mr. Jarvis said yesterday that Ingersoll Would be treated like any ordinary prisoner.

The District Attorney asked t? have these cases sent to the Oyer and Terminer for trial, according to statute.

The case of Clayton vs. Clayton, it be ing a suit brought by a polygamous wife of Wm. Clayton, Territorial Auditor for decree and wlimony, is on the docket for to-morrow or the next dayj The point at present raised is a demurrer to the jurisdiction of the United States Court, the defense claiming that matters of this nature belong exclusively to the Probate Court. The plaintiff is Clayton's ninth wife, and a suit before the United States Court of course cannot be maintained. The testimony on the merits of the case, however, it is expected will be decidedly curious inasmuch as to admit the plaintiff is defendant's wife would leave him open to the charge of polygamy. The defeniant's only hope therefore is to maintain a demurrer.

A letter from Lincoln, Illinois, says that on the 28th Miss Mary Ann Swindell, aged about 18 years, while itf the office of Beason & Blinn, lawyers, shot Henry H. Howell, of Prairie Creek. The shot was from behind. The ball entered the right shoulder and came out at the left breast. It is feared it will prove fetal.

The Gazette says: "Prince Yecry Galitzin and his private orchestra are about to start for New York, in order to make our TransAtlantic friends acquainted with the popular music of Russia."
Pauline Markham, during her retirement from the stage for the past six months, has been studying for the legitimate drama under Matilda Heron, and it is said has developed unexpected dramatic abilities. A new play has been written for her which will probably first be produced in New York, and with this she proposes to make a "starring" tour.
Charlotte Cushman's performance of Meg Merrilies, which she is now playing at Booth's theater in New York, receives the most unqualified praise of the critics. Mr. Winter says in the Tribune that it is "one of the most powerful and brilliant manifestations of genius aud ripe ability in art that have ever been seen and again he says that she seems "literally inspired," "looked the genius of witchcraft and really electrified her audience."
The performence of an English child aclor, just arrived at the Holiday Street Theater, in Baltimore, is thus spoken of: "Percy Roselle is a most extraordinary young actor. As Shylock, he shows cultured appreciation of that great character, and a force of representing it that would do credit to the most matured and experienced Shakespearean. Frequent bursts of-applause from the audience, last night, as he finished the declamation of any portion of the lines, testified to a hearty appreciation of this little gentleman's genius. In make up and stage action he faithfully carries out all the details of the part. The first sensation of curiosity and amusement which is felt when he first comes upon the stage is soon lost in a genuine admiration for his
I "The Kage for False Diamonds." The Tribune calls attention to the mania that displays itself iu an exhibi tion of bogus diamonds on the person After telling us that it is not uncommon to see diamonds—or what purport to be such—in the ears of shop girls, or in the bosom fronts of stable boys, and that the consequence is that this class of jewelry, expensive when real and gaudy when false, has been given up by the majority of honest folks, pearls being worn instead. The Tribune adds:
Artificial diamonds are made of a peculiar glass called strass. This glass has a property of refracting light in the same way as the diamond, and its manufacture has been carried to such perfection that an ordinary observer cannot distinguish gems made of it from real diamonds. After a "few years these diamonds tend to crystalize, so that iu ten years they become turbid and lose all their lusters. These stones, however, can always be distinguished by a practical lapidary by various tests, such as hardness and peculiarities in the cutting. Diamonds are also imitated by a system called "plockage," in which a very thin slab of diamond is cemented to some stone, such as quartz or white topaz. Other real stones, such as zircon and topaz, when they are colorless, or only slightly colored, are passed off as diamonds. It is generally supposed that diamonds are white, but they are of all colors. False diamonds are made almost entirely in Paris. Alaska and California diamonds are only quartz or rock quartz.
The above facts about false diamonds, etc., if generally known, would have the effect of diminishing the wearing by Americans of the real diamonds, just as imitation gilt jewelry is diminishing the use of real gold ornaments among people good taste and refined culture.
WE are all familiar with the picture of M. Thiers famous and at the apex of human greatness let us examine him through the smaller lens of the telescope. In the year 1838 M. Caste, chief editor of the Temps newspaper in Paris, and M. Louis Bellot, on leaving their office at tw^'clock every morning, passed a certain house in a window of the fifth story of which a light was always seen burning. After awhile the curiosity of the gentlemen was aroused as to the occupant of the chamber. One morning, on passing the house, and to his question as to who occupied the apartment, she replied that it was very laborous, and a great student of his books, although he was destined to be only a journalist. On learning that his indefatigable worker of the night was of his own profession, M. Coste insisted upon mounting the stairs. They found the young man at his books, and, after a brief conversation, M. Coste engaged him to make his debnt in bis journal. This student was Adolphe Thiers, now President'of the French Republic. ~'i"

HAIR VIGOR.
AlER'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 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.
