A NEED long and sadly felt in this city by amusement goers is a first-class orchestra.
MATRIMONIAL.—Miss Louisa Moore, of this city, was married this P. M., by Rev. James Hill, to Hon. George Nebeker, of Covington, a prominent railroad man of this State. No cards.
THE Express, Senior, is not so noncommital as it has been in the past. It is arousing from its reticence on important questions, and in its issue of this morning comes out boldly in denunciation of the demoralizing practice of ladies droppingjtheir bustles on the street. That careful old family organ says
A bustle, said to be of the Lotta pattern, was dropped on Sixth street yesterday. This thing of dropping female gear upon the streets should be discouraged.
MANY people besides ourself have learned from having work done there that Mr. Lightnor, Riddle's new jeweler from the Elgin watch manufactory, is the most skillful of his trade of any in the city. One of our most prominent citizens brought him an elegant gold watch for repairs a few days since, and so well did Mr. L. make the needed repairs, the gentleman forthwith gave him two others to repair. We can truly say of our own knowledge that lie cannot be excelled in "cutting down" a ring.
AN envelope bearing the following expressive and confiding lines, recently received at our city postoffice, was carefully, tenderly and affectionately handled and delivered to the proper person toy the gentlemanly clerks:
To Indiana speed," To Terre Haute fly For Miss Smith to read.
And answer by and by.
Did mortal man ever behold more childish confidence in woman's goodness of heart than is expressed in the last line of the above effusion. The writer seems to have full confidence that the fair Miss Smith will answer "by and by."

THE BALLS.—On the evening of the 30th inst, the Prairie City Guards will ,give a grand Thanksgiving ball at Dowling's beautiful, artistic and commodious Hall, which all who know how to appreciate a hop are invited to attend.
From the names of gentlemen on the •committee we can safely predict that rthe entertainment will be one well 'worthy of patronage, and that all who :atteud will have their every comfort Hooked after with zeal by those ever-zeal-.ous committeemen. 'The Young Men's Amulet give their ffirst grand ball of the season at Dowling .MaU.nn the evening of the 27th iust.

Indianapolis being disappointed in the Theodore Thomas Orchestra beewwe of
their not favoring them with an apj»earance after they had appeared in the grand Opera House of this city, apolo gise through the papers and insist that it was because no hall could be secured for that purpose. They console them selves with the hope that Theodore will faror them in May.
The agent of Keane's Comedy Com pany, of Chicago, is in the city, and will open out a dramatic engagement of one week at Bowling's artistic, beautiful and commodious hallj Monday evening of next week. The company is represented by the press as being a good one and worthy of first-class patronage.

BETTER THAN CLNDCRANGO.
A Simple and Effectual Cure for Cancer. Some months ago Major D. A. Carpenter, of this city, received a letter from a friend in Geotgia, requesting him to send some clover, as a lady sufferer, with that dread disease, cancer, was earnest in her belief that the cancer could be cured by the use of the clover. Major Carpenter sent the clover as requested, and yesterday received the following letter:
BROOKS COUNTY, GA., Oct. 31,1871. DEAR SIR The clover you sent me has effected a wonderful cure. I received the clover and delivered it to the afflicted lady, and she is now well. The cancer had attacked her on the right cheek, just below the right eye, and had eate» pretty much all that side of her face,, together with the eye and the greater part of her nose. 'The cancer was of eighteen years' standing, and the best medical skill had long been exhausted in vain endeavors to effect a cure, or even an alleviation of the disease. But the clover has proven to be the remedy, and has completely cured the cancer. You can safely recommend it to any one suffering from the terrible disease. Just boil the clover, make a tea, wash the sore twice a day, and drink of the tea, about one quart a day. The cure is so remarkable that five sufferers from cancer, in this vicinity, write to request me to obtain more of the clover from you to cure their cancers. "Respectfully, A. B. WATKINS. "Maj. D. A. CARPENTER, Knoxville, Tennessee."
Maj. Carpenter is well acquainted with Mr. Watkins, and places entire reliance upon his statements.
A Fearful Fall.
Paul Kelley, conductor of a freight train on the Nashville & Northwestern Railroad, met with a very serious accident on that road when within about fifty miles of Nashville, Wednesday night. The train had been stopped to wood, leaving the rear portion of it on a trestle thirty feet in hignt. It was dark, and Kelley stepped off the caboose with the intention of going forward, but instead fell downward. He says that the distance seemed so great that he thought he would never reach terra firm$ a£ain, but was in due time very unpleasantly reminded of the fact that he was not to continue through space always, by a sudden collision with the ground which knocked the breath out of him. Strange as it may appear he reached the ground, cat-like—feet foremost. When he had picked himself up he discovered that one of his jaw-teeth had been knocked out, though his cheeks seemed to be uninjured, and that the nail on one of his toes had been jerked off, notwithstanding the fact that his boot was uninjured. He was also slightly scratched upon his temple. Though suffering somewhat yesterday with pains in his breast and a stiffened neek, he will soon be himself again. His escape was almost miracul ous.—Nashville Banner.
ONE of the most vulgar errors of the day, and one which is silly and meaningless, except a meaning that is perverted in the extreme from its intended significance, is the substitution of "gent" for "gentleman." The word "gentleman" occurs four hundred and fifty-two times
Shakspeare "gent" is not to be found there at all. With all his wealth of imagination the great dramatist never conceived a gent. As the thing was beyond the sphere of his observation, the idea transcended the limits of his fancy. He could not look into the future far enough to see "the coming man," and, if he could have done so, perhaps ne would have closed his eyes to the saddening speetade, instead of serving up the gent with the Calibans and Touchstones, the misshapen monsters and sportive fools of his pictured pages. Turning from the great dramatist who knew no gent, we look for the word in the standard dictonaries. Not finding it there, we discover it at last, skulking among the refugees of the slang dictionary, and a very appropriate place it has in the haunt of that not very select society. "Gent" appears there as "a contraction of 'gentleman' in more senses than one—a dressy, showy, foppish man, with' a little mind, who vulgarizes the prevailing fashion." A gentleman and a gsnt are very easily distinguishable to-day.
THERE is nothing more worthy of cultivation than a nice sense of honor. And in nothing is this more frequently disregarded than, for example, where one is the guest of a family, iu which the domestic machinery does not run smoothly. There is sorrow unsuspected by the outer world. Sometimes it is a dissipated son, whose conduct is a shame and grief to his parents sometimes a relative whose eccentricities and peculiarities area cloud on the home. Or, worst of all, husband and wife may not be in accord, and there may be often bitter words spoken and harsh recriminations. In any of these cases the guest is in honor bound to be blind and deaf, as far as people without are concerned. If a gentle word within can do ^any good, it may well be said but to go* forth and reveal the shadow of an unhappy secret to any one, even your nearest friend, is an act of indelicacy and meanness almost unparalleled. Once in the sacred preoincts of any home, admitted into its privacy, sharing its life, all that you see and hear is a sacred trust. It is as really contemptible to gossip of such things as it would be to steal the silver or borrow the books and forget to return them* ....
MADAME GEORGE SAND who has genius, wealth, great reputation as an authoress, some scarlet sins to answer for, some amours which ended in death, one cruel book that drove poor Prof. Musset, the sweetest singer in France, to his grave, has commenced a new novel .for the avowed purpose of attacting all that was pure and virtuous in the life of the ex-Empress Eugenie. She, bates her with the hatred "of a vain ana gifted woman who has been denied admission to the Tuilleries. As anything now is admissible under the Republic, it is more than probable that ^ibis forthcoming novel will be one of great wit, bitterness audecandai.

SLEEPING-CAR porters never let slip an opportunity of making an honest fee. On a Western road lately a legless man occupied a berth, and the porter being in a quandary as to how he could collect charge for blacking the boots of the maimed passenger, solved the riddle by polishing the ends of bis crutches. The owner of the crutches rewarded the ingenious porter with a fifty-cent

PARIS, Nov. 14.—Jules Ferry, Minis ter of France, to Washington, has been officially informed with regard to the contradictory statements which have been in circulation respecting the contemplated movements of His Holiness Pope Pius.

Numerous large buildings in the vicinity of the quay have been destroyed with their valuable contents. Seven large establishments, the most extensive iu Geneva, have been consumed. Loss beyond calculation. The gigantic flames during the night lit up the whole city. The hotels Leronne and Dulac were burned. Their bare walls are standing.
ST. PAUL, MINN., November 14.—The official returns of the late election are not all iu, but enough to show that Gov. Austin will have" a majority of at least 13,000. It has now reached 10,660, and the Press estimates that the districts from which no returns are yet received, will give 2,800 more. The Legislature stands on joint ballot, Republicans 101 Democrats, 40, as follows: Senate, Republicans 31 Democrats 10. House, Republicans 70 Democrats 30.
XENIA, O., NOV. 14.—At five o'clock this evening, as the wood train was approaching this place, it ran over and immediately killed a colored man, by the name of Byrd, completely severing his head from his body. He was drunk at the time, and no doubt laid down to sleep when the accident occurred.
MEMPHrs, Nov. 14.—A negro roustabout on the steamer Susie Silver, cut and severely wounded three deck passengers, last night, with the favorite weapon, a razor. Their names are Pat Ryan, Geo.

SPRINGFIELD, III., Nov. 14.—The State Legislature will assemble here tomorrow, at 12 o'clock, in the old State House.

The Governor's message is in the hands of the printer, and will be sent to the Legislature as soon as an organization is effected.
The message is understood is not so long as that of last year, and a greater portion of it is devoted to Chicago matters. The property title question is alluded to, but no line of action is recommended.
In reference to occupation of the city by ^Federal, troops, the Governor speaks plainly, maintaining the position taken by him in bis letter to Attorney General Bushnell, and gives his correspondence with the several parties concerned in putting Chicago under martial law.

Another cake was purchased and paid for, and the two friends parted, "Greeiiey" to find his brother, and Mr. Charlton to join in the merry dance, with his young friends in a parlor hard by.
The golden hours on angel's wings, f&ssed rapidly away with Mr. Charlton. His friend was soon forgotten. Late in the evening when there was a pause in the dance, our verdant friend, very much to the surprise of every one, stalked into the parlor and inquired for Mr. Charlton.
Of course all eyes were directed to our friend, as he approached Mr. Charlton. Drawing from his bosom a four by six inch cake he said: "Mr. Charlton, here's your cake. My brother had voted afore I had seed him."
:7THE ART of conversing well stands next to genius. Society rarely discriminates between the brilliancy which shiues with a borrowed lustre aud the sunlight of genuine originality. We are all apt to be captivated with trifles. We don't go down deep into the hidden nature of things. But so the world goes and it is but a piece of folly for us to rail at the world for it. Instead of growling because most people are prcue to see the crystal rather than the diamond, an earnest effort should be made to be truly and worthy of appreciation. And this is not a hardship. Montaigue tells us that "the most fruitful and natural exercise of the mind is conversation. I find the use of it more sweet than any other action of life." It is as susceptible of growth and cultivation as any other gift. Its grovaih, too, bears an exact ratio to the degree of care bestovted upon it.

The First Newspaper in America. In Buckingham's "Newspaper Specimens" we find that the first attempt to set up a newspaper in North America so far as can be ascertained from existing records or from tradition, was made in Boston in the year 1690. Only one copy ft known to be in existence, and this is deposited in the State paper office in London.
Number one of this paper, and proba bly the only number ever published, is dated, September 25, 1690. Immediately on its puplication, the legislative authorities spoke of it as a pamphlet, stated tnat it was art contrary to law, and contained "reflections of a very high nature." They strictly forbade "anything in print without license first obtained from those appointed by the government to grant the same." The paper was printed by Richard Pierce for Benjamin Harris. Mr. Pierce is said to have been the fifth person who carried on the printing business in Boston.
Benjamin Harris, who was the proprietor of this papar, had a printing house in Boston, and in 1692 aud 1694 printed the acts and laws of Massachusetts, and was a "printer to lys Excellency the Governor, and Council." Harris' commisson to print the laws was iu the following words:
By his Excellency—I order Benjamin Harris to print the acts and laws made by the great and general court or assembly of their Majesty's province of Massachusetts Bay of New England, thut we the people may be informed thereof. WILLIAN PHIPPS "Boston, December 16,1691."
This is curious, interesting and important history, showing that the advent of the newspaper to this country took place a hundred and eighty years ago!
Cheap bat Honest.
Many years ago, when Judge Robert M. Charlton, of Savannah, Georgia, was quite a young man, he in company with his father, the Hon. U. P. Charlton, spent every summer in the delightful village of Clarksville, Northern Georgia,
One day Robert was passing along the street in Clarksville, And it happened to be election day—members of Congress were then elected by what is. called the general ticket system, and not by districts as they are now—when he was met by a verdent but honest voter of the mountains, who accosted him thus: "Mr. Charlton, are you the man that is running for Congress "No, sir, lam no candidate—my father is, however. But may I ask you why this inquiry "Nothing, only I havn't voted yet." "If it is consistent with your feelings, then, I would like it if you would vote for my father." "I would just as soon vote for him as anybody."
Mr. C. thanked him, and thinking, perhaps, his friend was seeking a treat, invited him in to a neighboring tavern. "What will you take?" "I never drink anything, but Isee they have some ginger cakes. I'd as leave take one of them with you as not." "Very well. Give us a cake." 'V"My brother is in town with me." "All right. Take him a cake with my respects."
