FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24,1871.

THK Gate Cily, of yesterday morning, copies an articie from the Terre Haute Journal of the 15th inet., and heads it "Dan Voorhees on Passivism." Now, any one thai knows anything about Dan Voorhees, knows that be never penned that article. He is not the man to use expressions laudatory of himself, we know from experience. By reading the entire article as It appeared in the Journal, it will be seen that it compliments Mr. Voorhees very highly for the manner in which he conducted the campaign at the last Congressional election in bis district. The Journal possesses some editorial talent equal to any periodical in the West, and we are inclined to believe that the article originated in the editorial room of that paper.—Fort Madison (Iowa) Democrat.

What an unfortunate case of misplaced confidence Why, Mr. Democrat, the Indianapolis Sentinel says that Voorhees is the author of these very articles—and the editor of the Terre Haute Journal does not deny it.

IK PRESIDENT GRANT intends to hold his own this winter, ho must consult prudence, and take into the Cabinet some man possessing the confidence of the German element. Unless some action of this sort is taken, he must expect a serious bolt in 1872, which may make his renomination more difficult than it at present appears.—Chicago Republican.

The German element of this country, as we showed yesterday, in relation to its action in New York, has-set its face ^against corruption of all kinds, and will not support for office any one whose official skirts are not entirely clear of peculations of any kind. This large and re spectable element of our society, has its eyes open to the demoralization of the times, and will, all over the country, as they have in New York, unite with any body of men, to elect only honest and competent men to office.

AFTER interviewing that venerable calamity, "the oldest inhabitant," we are prepared to announce that in the history of Terre Haute, there never has been so much snow on the ground at onetime thus early in the season at this place as there is to-day.

A ST. LOUISIAN died worth 926,000, leaving his children one dollar apiece.—Chicago Mail.

If the Mail means to insinuate that deceased had 26,000 children, in this age of libel suits, the children should bring suit for "defamation of the character" of their father!

Too LITTLE.—Pat Shannon, Esq., and his young assistant, will be the most accommodating and happy men in town to-morrow, and the handsome and truly charming sohool marms of the city will call and claim their "little" salary— alas! entirely too little.

WE are pained to announce that Mr. Eugene I. Holden, aged 26 years, and well-known in this city as a young lawyer, died at his mother's residence last eveniug, after a loug aud painful illness, from consumption. He had returned from a Minnesota tour for his health but a few hours when he died.

THE Presbyterian Church of Evansville is said to have one of the best choiig in the State—LaFayette Journal.

We are willing to ooncede the above claim but did any choir in the State assume to be better than that of the Cougregatioual Churoh of this city we would want "positive proof before we would concede the point.

As HON. HARVEY D. SCOTT was coming into the city this morning, in passing along by the Wabash & Erie C&ua], where there is a little water usually standing, he observed that the entire pool was frozen over, with the exception of one small place, from whence he observed a mimter of little fish protruding their gills. 1 fa reports it to us as one of the curious sights of his life.

NOBODY ever praises an editor for the "good things" he publishes.—Journal. But everybody is ready to denounce and condemn him if he ohances to publish a "bad thing," aud how can an editor publish a paper to please everybody, when there are no two persons organised alike, and about as few who have the same Ideas about what a good thing to? Under any and all circumstances, an editor's life is a very thankand laborloaroae.

"FABER ECIIING."—Under the above head the New Albany Standard is taking active measures to furnish attorneys free to any client who may wish to bring suit against the Standard at any time. The lawyers will not cherish the liveliest affection for that paper, and when there is an occasion for any one bringing a libel suit against that publication, the bar will volunteer a prosecution.

Jacob Watts, the Standard says: "In personal appearance is tall, slim and angular, brown hair, open countenance, large eyes, with a soft feminine expression head above the medium size, marked with a

large bump

of self-esteem

manner frisky, but pleasant prides himself upon his education .and good looks, good habits and good intentions. Stimu Iated with a moderate energy and ordi nary abilities, he will in time become a passable lawyer, but would succeed better in the ministry, for which his education inclination and talents eminently qualify him."

Edward Burton, the Standard says has been "admitted to practice, yet in consequence of his youth and inexperi ence has acquired but little business has good common sense, fair edusation, cor rect deportment, ambitious to be a lawyer, mind more occupied with calico than law, low in stature, compactly built vocal powers well developed, courts the muses, which now and then give ear to his wooing." The idea of a limb of the law allowing his mind to be more occupied with calico than law is an intimation that the "Jimb" is a dry goods clerk! If it ain't, then what is it?

Mrs. Moulton, who has created such an excitement in the musical world, is advertised to appear at Indianapolis very soon. The following announcement from the morning Journal will no doubt crowd the Academy of Music, of that city: "Mrs. Moulton, at a concert a few evenings since in Hartford, Conn., wore one of the most elegant concert dresses ever seen in that city." That's what brings out the bon ton of the Capital.

Joaquin Miller, in his "Kit Carson's Ride," makes Kit dash away on a bareback horse, aud afterwards "rise in his stirrups." The explanation is simple. The context shows that he had last given his animal astir up.

Bloomington is to see and hear some Indianapolis talent at a concert to be held in that town next Tuesday night. On the programme are the following names: Miss Hester Cox, soprano Miss Anna L. Kingsbury, contralto Miss Clara Sawyer, contralto Frank S. Smith, baritone Calvin S. Sharpe, tenor M. H. Spades, violinist Charles K. Black, organist Prof. J. S. Black, conductor.

Misses Fanny J. Kellogg and Mamia Conn, and Messrs. Kilbourne, Paige, Zobel and Richardson went to Greencastle this afternoon, where they give one of their excellent concerts with which our neighboring little cities are delighted. All are accomplished musicians and ladies and gentlemen of rare social qualities, deserving not only of financial success, but of the highest respect of the estimable citizens wherever they appear, all of which they will have, no doubt. Success to them.

The Evansville Journal in speaking of the McKee Rankin troupe, says "They will be here for tw\» weeks. Mr. Rankin is the best "Fagin" and the best "Melter Moss" now playing those characters. He is, in fact, ®ne of the best actors on the stage, and was for along time one of t&e

chief

attractions of the Chicago the

aters. We predict for him crowded houses duringhis stay here." We can assure the people of Evansvill that not merely Mr. Rankin but his entire troupe are of the highest order of artists. Not only that, but they are ladies and gentlemen in the strictest sense of the word, a fact that all who know them will attest. We congratulate our neighbors of the "Pocket" that they are to be so highly favored. By the way this most excellent of dramatic companies will commence their second engagement in this city on Monday evening in "Caste," for tfie entire week in a most attractive reportoire. Mr. Belvil Ryan, a distinguished Euglish actor sustains the part of Ecles in the play of "Caste," the opening piece, which character Mr. De Groat sustained at their first appearance. pvw**

RAILROAD MATTERS.

Incoming trains on the Vandalia and I. & St. L. railroads were loaded this morning.

Contracts on the Cincinnati & Terre Haute Railroad will be let to-morrow. The Vandalia expresB, bound east, was nearly two hours late l&stevening, owing to the failure of an engine on the west end.

The snow of last evening caused a *«ligUt delay in J&*in« doe tfais

morning, though the mails were on very good time. It id the generally expressed opinion that the proposed Terre Haute & South western Railroad could not have a better President than W.'B.Tuell, Esq.

Another excursion train, and probably the last of the season, will be run to Chicago over the Peru road on Saturday eve ning, and return Monday morning. Four sleeping coaches, including the new and elegant Woodruff sleepers, will be attached.

It is reported that the management of the Ohio & Mississippi Railroad contem plate removing their shops from East St. Louis and Cochran to Vincennes or Washington, in order to get nearer the coal fields of Indiana, and at the same time be near a central point between St. Louis and Cincinnati. The latter place, we understand, offers large inducements to get the shops.

A ticket punch, now being manufactured at Hartford, Conn., is designed to be used as a detective on horse and steam cars. Whenever a ticket is punched a spring bell is rung, a number is registered on a hidden dial in a small stout case like that of a watch, and the piece of card or number punched out falls into a receptacle where-it is preserved until removed by the Superintendent of the road. Wonder how that will effect the wearing of diamonds?

The Indianapolis Journal of this morning says that the night freight, No 18, due there at 6:50 yesterday morning, met with quite an accident at half-past 9 o'clock, between Anderson's Ferry and South Side. The journal of one of the wheels in the rear end of the car, about midway of the train, becoming overheated, gave way, letting the trucks down, which were thrown crosswise of the track, causing the almost entire destruction of three other cars loaded with grain. Fortunately, no lives were lost, nor was there any one hurt.

The express on the Bloomington road, due here at five minutes after three A. M., collided with the rear car of a frieght train, at a point near the crossing of the Illinois Central road, yesterday morning. The first intimation of danger the engineer had was seeing the conductor of the freight waving a white light. He whistled down brakes, reversed, and then jumped. One of the employes had just commenced jetting up the brake, when 1' 3 1 /iUn AHiviriAAlii

he noticed a black object (the engineer) rolling in the ditch, and so jumped also. The baggage-master was caught between the cars and slightly hurt. The engine No. 10 was tyadly wrecked, and the platforms of several of the coaches broken. Fortunately the damage was not great, and no lives were lost. The accident delayed the train some six hours.—Indianapolis Sentinel.

An Engineer of Resources.

The Bethleham (Pa.,) Times says that the oldest locomotive engineer in the United States is Rarney Butz, who now runs an engine on the Labanon branch of the Reading Railroad. Barney was born in Conygham, Luzerne County, Penn., and went on the Beaver Meadow Railroad, about the year 1835 or 1836. In 1837 he was running an engine from Parry ville to Weatherly, the planes being then in operation. The cars were drawn np the planes by a stationary engine, and were then drawn into the Beaver Meakow mines by a locomotive engine. A good stoiy is told of Barney's readiness in case of an emergency. One day his engine

was likely to be overtaken by a passenger train before he could reach the turnout. Seeing a geod-sized porker beside the track, he jumped from his en** ginc—the train was moving very slowseized the pig, cut his throat, and stuffed him into the furnace.

NEW YORK, November 24.—The experiments commenced Wednesday by the united railroads of#New Jersey by Mr. Stevens were continued yesterdey at Sandy Hook in presence of a large number of gentlemen, principally engineers, the experiment of the day con. sisted in the explosion of a boiler, built in 1845, and taken out of a steamer in August last, after having been in use 25 years. The boiler had been tested several times and had stood the pressure of forty-three pounds to a squarelnch.

In the experiment yesterday, the water was 15 inches above" the tubes when we left Mr. Stephens and his workmen. Seven minutes before the explosion, the steam pressure being gradually raised to 50 pounds per square inch, some of the braces gave way with loud report, and when the pressure of 50 pounds was attached to the boiler it exploded with terrific violence. The steam drum and considerable portion of the top of the shellj forming a mass weighing about 3 tons, was hurled high in the air, and fell at a distance of about 450 feet from the bottom, demolishing several trees. The boiler was literally torn into pieces, and only amass of the dismantled tubes remained on the spot where it had been. The ground for considerable space around the boiler was saturated with the water the boiler had contained.

This experiment made upon an old boiler containing plenty of water, has proved that an explosion of the most destructive nature can be produced by not only a moderate pressure but one very slightly in excess of what is commonly used. It proves also that a recourse is not necessary to the area of water or highly sulphurated hipothical gasses to account for the most terrific explosion, It shows that an explosion which tore a large boiler into small fragments and would have entirely destroyed any vessel in which it might have occurred, took place with plenty of water and a steam pressure but little in excess of what is frequently used with boilers of this type.

It is proposed to continue these experiments at an early day with such boilers, now on hand, as were used for the purpose of making experiments yesterday. Every precaution was taken to prevent the possibility of accident to life.

NEW YORK, NOV. 24.—The ship Hudson, which arrived at this port yesterday from London, brought out a large consignment of blooded stock, including several brood mares, Shetland and English ponies, short horn buHs, cows, &c.

The blood mares are five in number, aud are owned by August Belmont and P. H. Lorillard, and are from the very best blood in England. Belmont has two, both bays Adosinda, six years old,' and Saracrosa, four years old Mr. Lorillard's three are the bay mare Merry Wife, bay filly Blue Stocking and bay Alley Giraslo. The latter are in foal. Probably not a better importation of horses has ever been made in this country, as all five of them are bred from horses that are now looked upon in England as the be|t ip the kingdom.

CHICAGO, November 24—'Tiie Tribune having published a local article in regard to the firemen from Milwaukee and elsewhere which has caused much criticism, this morning has the following editorial retraction: On Sunday morning last an article was published in our city columns alleging that the firemen of Milwaukee and Aurora who came here during the late conflagration, extorted money from private individuals for saving the property from the flames. The article was inserted in the absence and without the knowledge ot the responsible editor of the Tribune, but evidence has been laid before us which convinces us that the charges were wholly unfounded so far as the Milwaukee firemen are concerned, and we presume they were equally destitute of foundation as regards the other men.

We tender them our apologies for the injustice done to them, and our thanks for the great services they have rendered to us in the hour of our calamity. No city has'befriended us more zealously or unselfishly than Milwaukee. None has a stronger or more lasting claim upon us than Milwaukee, her citizens, her Mayor and her firemen.

CHICAGO, November 24.—It is feared that the Rev. J. T.

A Convict's Fight for Liberty. A prisoner in the penitentiary at Bruchsal, a town in the Grand Duchy of Baden, has recently succeeded in burniug down the greater portion of the prison. Oarl Schwabe, a notorious desperado, was incarcerated for robbery with violence. He wrenched off a portion of his iron bedstead and broke open his cell door. Shouldering the instrument of escape, he deliberately marched through the corridors unmolested, and made for the jailor's room. He forced the door and entered. He arrayed himself in the jailor's overcoat and hat, and exchanged his fragment of bedstead for the official's sword. As he was stalking through the building on his to the outer gate, he was discovered. An alarm was given. He made for the chapel, scaled the wall inside, crawled through a window, and climbed to the roof of the building. He ensconsed himself behind the parapet, forced out a number of stones, and twirled them down upon his pursuers. Seyeral shots were fired at him without effect. He called out to the officials below, declaring that unless they would give him" a chance of escape he would fire the jail." On their continuing to discharge their revolvers, he deliberately lighted a match, gathered together some dry splinters of wood, and set fire to the chapel.

The flames spread rapidly, and the entire building was soon ablqze. The fire brigade was called out, but before the fire was got under, a large tower, the the chapel and the prison offices fell a prey to the flames. Schwabe fled to an adjoining building, and the guards for a long time sought in vain for the desperado. At length he was discovered hidden under the floor of a lookout at the summit of a lofty toWer. Sword in hand, he fought like a demon. Riddled with shots and slashed with sabre cuts," he still kept his assailants at bay. At last they rushed upon him in a body, and pitched him from the tower, a height of six stories, into the prison yard. Mar velous to relate, lie was not killed. He fell into a cart-load of rubbish, but in a day or two afterwards he died of his wounds.

For Mr. Darwin.

ANew Zealand correspondent of the San Franciseo Alta is responsible for the following story:"

4HoweverstrangeMr.

Darwin's theory

—that man is descended from a monkey —may seem to be to many, the fol lowing particulars in the early history of one of the present members of Parlia ment for New Zealand are related in all sober earnestness in Southern papers Mr. B.'s early life was spent in the wilds of South Africa. When a mere infant he was one day laid peacefully at rest at the door of his woodland home. His worthy parent, near the cabin, shot the young offspring of a large monkey, at which the feelings of the affectionate mamma were of course much wounded-. She was, however, driven away by the approaching hunter, and in passing the cabin door noticed and stole the future New Zealand legislator. The loss was not discovered for nearly an hour afterward, and then all efforts to find the robber proved unavailing. Three months after this period a hunting party came across a family of monkeys in the wilderness, and there, in the arms of the careful although untutored wet-nurse, was the long-lost child, who chattered and jibbered in the most approved monkey fashion, apparently fully equal to the exigencies of the situation. Could there be any more convincing evidence .than this of the affinity between our race and those hairy denizens of the woods?"

The Queen's Lover.

A vlry eccentric and famous man died in a hovel in the St. Giles quarter in London, the other day. Thirty years ago he was one of the most celebrated men in England. He was a chimney sweep, and he, likeFehcter in the play, "loved the Queen." He became so infatuated after the then young and fascinating royal lady, that he climbed down the chimney of St. James Palace a number of times,but escaped when chased, save on one occasion. Then he was taken, as he was about to enter the Queen's apartments, and shut into Tothill street prison. As soon as-his time was up, he tried repeatedly again to see the Queen, and the police took the matter in hand. He was arrested, taken into Gravesend, embarked on board the Diamond, and sent to Australia. He lived for many years at Sidney, but Was allowed to return to England about five years ago, alrtays desperately enamored of the Queen. His remaining yeart were spent in miserable poverty. A fortnight since, a rumor was one day started Jn London that Queen Victoria was dead. He heard it just as he was retiring to rest, uttered a groan, and died instantly. The unfortunate be* ing's name was Edward Jones.

It will be a lasting present, which brings the &J*'Jliberal friend In recollection every day ot the year. It is not an article that is used up and 'V' gone. It will be an ornament of your house or your room, and will give it a more lovely and homely appearance. Just try it once—take away the pictures from the walls of your rooms and you will feel as if you had lost a friend.

Take this a hint, and if you intend to buy for Christmas a picture, it is now the right time to make the selection, to enable the frame manufacturer to put it up with care. You can find a splendid assortment at the ART EMPORIUM, 'D at Low Prices, and whatismostdesirable, everything neat and perfect. oct24dlm
