ROMANCE OF A BROWN STOW A BOY
From a Bagged Boy to a Princely Merchant and Railroad President. In the year 1840 a grand barbecue and public meeting was held at tho Tippecanoe battle ground, at which some ol the most famous orators in the country, Henry Clay, wo believe, among the number, were announced to speak. The occasion was one of great interest and people from every scction of the fetate found their way there to participate in the meeting. Among the number was a ragged boy from Brownstown, Jackson county. There being but one piece of railroad in the State at tho time, travel on foot or by relay of stages was the only means of transportation. This boy determined to go to the meeting and having no money to pay fare on stages, left his home on foot. Ho travelled until ho reached a point near where Gosport now stands, when he was overtaken on the road by a gentleman from Terre Haute on horseback. The name of this gentleman our informant has forgotten, but knows that he was a merchant in that place, then a small village. A conversation ensued between the boy and the merchant, tho latter inquiring whither he was going. The ragged urchin replied, "Going to the meeting at Tippecanoe." "Do you know far it is, my boy?" "No," replied the boy, "but I am going." The boy was invited to got up behind and rido awhile with tho merchant, which invitation ho gladly accepted. While riding along tho merchant discovered that his companion had energy and determination that would one day make a man of him. lie told the boy that if ho would go to Torre Ilauto with him he would give him employment in his store. The boy reluctantly gave up the idoa of going to Tippocanoo, and accepted tho offer.
Reaching Terro Haute, the boy was put in the merchant's store as an errand boy, which position ho filled with promptness and energy, gaining the confidence and respect of his employer. Ho was rapidly advanced from one position to the other, until now he stands in tho front rank of tho merchants of Torre Haute. This r.ngged boy is now President of the Terre llauto&Nevv Albany Railroad, and his name is Win. B. Tuell.—New Albany Jjcdffer.
Mr. Tuell is not the President of the Terre Haute & New Albany Railroad, but the Terre Haute & Southwestern road. Not only this, but lie is the President of our street railroad. Not only this, but he is a heavy stockholder in our nail works in our furnace in our glass factory in all of our artesian and oil wells is a principal owner in the Terre Haute House, tho best hotel in the city i9 largely engaged in the coal business, and the owner of some of the finest coal lands in this portion of the State has the title deeds to a large quantity of the fine grounds which surround this city, and holds the warrantees to, perhaps, as many city lots as any of our wealthiest citizens.
Not only this, but be stands at the head of the largest mercantile house in the city is part owner of the largest lumber yard here owns the most desirable business lot on Main street speculates extensively in real estate lives in one of the finest dwelling houses in the fetate, and added to all this, is aj.first-rate, genial-hearted, enterprising, go-ahead citizen.
Of course the boy who replied, "don't know how far it is—but I am going," will always make just such a man as W. B. Tuell.
As SOON as official action is taken in relation to the proposed Southwestern Railroad, and we can find time look into the papers, we will answer all our correspondent "Harrison's" questions,but until some official action is taken by the parties having control of it, we will say nothing.
RAILROAD-PERSONAL.
Terre Haute is the second railroad city in the State. Trains were about all on time at the Indianapolis Union Depot this morniug.
The Indianapolis, Bloomington & Western road is to be double-tracked from Indianapolis to Urbana, Illinois. The work to commence in the ensuing spring.
Mr. Ed. Valliant, General Stock Agent, of the Toledo, Wabash & Western Railroad, was iu the city last evening, and eqjoyed himself, as did all who met him.
The mammoth bridge across Silver €reek, near Liberty, this State, on the Iudiai\apolis&Cincinnati Junction road, was destroyed by fire Sunday night, and it is necessary to transfer baggage at that point. It will take some time to rebuild the bridge.
The patent Westenhouse air brakes, now in use on the Vandalia and other roads, area great success in stopping a train, when skillfully appliod by the engineer. So much so, indeed, that if a passenger be standing up at the time of a sudden application of the same, two or three successive revolutions of his heels are more likely than not to be the result.
The IndianapolisSetMnel says: "Leslie late of the Indianapolis and St. Louis office iu this city, has recently been appointed Assistant General Passenger Agent of the Atlantic & Pacific and Missouri Pacific Railways. A. A. Talmadge, General Superintendent of the above named roads, has appointed Jack Redmond au assistaut. Tlu ir many friends ^in this neighborhood will rejoice at this ^promotion of these two verj worthy gentlemen,"

This morning the Vandalia train coming west, due here at 5:50 A. M., waited about half an hour on Eastern connections, but made the time nearly all up before reaching this city, though the train consisted of seven coaches, three of them "Palace Sleepers," all heavily laden with human freight. The last seven miles of the run was made in eight minutes. The train was drawn by engine No. 35 with that veteran engineer, William Sherburne at the throttle valve, and in charge of conductor Chas. Robinson.
Of this popular line the "Fat Contributor" of the Cincinnati Times and Chronie'e says: This is the junction of two important railroad lines, the Illinois Central and the St. Louis, Vandalia, Terre Haute & Indianapolis. The latter line has been in operation about two years, I believe, and is a popular route from Cincinnati to St. Louis. The trav*eler can take a through car for St. Louis (sleeping car if on the night train) at the I. & C. depot, by way of Indianapo lis and Vandalia, and ride over one of the pleasantest routes in the West, observed one thing on the Vandalia road, the cars are all new and elegant, and even the second-class car in which we went to smoke, was finished off elaborately with maple vaneerings.
The Illinois Central Railroad, in connection with the Gilman, Clinton & Springfield Railroad, are now running new and elegant sleeping cars through to Springfield without change. New and fine day coaches are also run through on the train leaving Twenty-second street at 9:30 A. M. The time by this route is as quick and the fare as low as by any other. Passengers leaving Chicago by night remain in the sleeping cars at Springfield until morning, thus avoiding the disagreeable necessity incident to other routes of leaving the cars before daylight.—Chicago Evening Mail.
Having been over a portion of the Clinton, Gilman & Springfield road, we know whereof we speak when we pronounce it one of the best new roads in the country. The Central is to well known by the travelling public to need any endorsement.
At a late meeting of the creditors of the I. C. & L. R. R. Company, held in Lawrenceburg, Messrs. Morris and Ingalls, the present Receivers, were elected assignees under the decree of bankruptcy, by an overwhelming majority of the creditors present and represented. The road will be sold, it is thought, under a decree of foreclosure of the mortgage of 1869, a suit for which is now pending in the United States Court, brought by the National Bank of Commerce of New York, and George I-Ioadly and B. E. Smith, trustees of the mortgage bonds. This decree will be obtained at this term of the Court, it is hoped, so that the day of sale can not be far off. There are two parties figuring to buy the road. The first consists of a pool of the holders of the mortgage bonds of 1869, the floating debt creditors, and the stockholders. The pool already counts a very large majority of the parties named, and by the day of sale it is expected that all will enter into the arrangement as the best for both their joint and several interests. Under this arrangement the parties will share proportionately of the proceeds of the sale, the bond holders having the preference, the floating debt creditors coming next, and the stockholders taking what is left. If the road sells for $12,000,000, the outside figures yet named, the stockholders will real'.ze, it is estimated, forty cents. On the other hand, it is rumored that H. C. Lord, Fisk & Gould, of the Erie road, B. E. Smith, of the I., B. & W. road, and theC., H. D. R. Company, will buy the road if they can obtain it at a saciffce. The next move in this game for the possession of the road will be watched with considerable interest.— Indianapolis Morning Journal, Dec. 12th.
NILSSON'S AGED LOVER.
Kissed in Spite of Herself—The Queen of Song in a Police Court—Age tlio Only Offense.
Justice Scott was yesterday called upon to adjudicate in a singular case, the memory of which will remain with him as long as he lives. The complainant is none other than Christina Nilsson, the renowned songstress, and the defendant one Charles Theodore Busch, a German musician of three-score, whose heart had been pierced with Cupid's shafts until his aged head had turned. Mile. Nilsson's complaint against the senile lover was preferred in low, sweet tones that thrilled the blushiug Justice, and filled the Essex Market Court room with music. "He annoys me much. Your Honor," said the silver-voiced Q.ueeu of Song. "He follows me everywhere. If I walk in the street, he is at my side if I enter a door he is with me. He foolishly believes that he loves me, and that I am essential to his happiness. Please tell hini to give me peace."
While Mile. Nilsson was thus pleading, poor lovelorn Busch's eyes followed every movement of her lips, and his ears drank iu every sound of ner mellifluous voice. Edging nearer to his fair enslaver he seized the corner of her fur cape, and bearing it hurriedly to his lips, kissed it repeatedly in the ecstacy of his adoration. "He says, Your Honor," continued the fair complainant, blushing, "that I must marry him." "You shall not be troubled by him again, Mademoiselle," said the Justice, with a smile. "Busch, I shall require you to give bonds in §300 to keep the peace toward this lady for six months."
It is said that the ardent Busch uot only followed Mile. Nilsson aud annoyed her with silly speeches, but that on one occasion he actually stole a kiss from her rosy lips. He had previously gone so far as to intrude himself into her private apartments, from which the servants promptly ejected him. The *kiss was taken yesterday morniug. Mile. Nilsson lost no lime in securing the services of Officer Doran, who took Busch into custody, and carried him before the Justice. —J&etv York Suth, Dec. Qth.
SENATOR TRUMBULL states that he knows nothingwhatever of the account of an alleged interview with him on the Presidential question, as published in the Western papers a few days since. The account represented him as giviug in his adhesion to the re-election of President Grant. He says nothing of the kind ever occurred, according to his recollection.

[Special dispatch to the Evening Gazette.] CENTKALIA, III., December 12.—A locomotive explosion occurred last evening on the Illinois Central Railroad, near this place, instantly killing the engineer and fireman aud mortally wounding a brakeman.

REBUILDING CHICAGO, And restoring its former greatness alter its late devastation by fire.
The year 1872, it will be remembered, is a
PRESIDENTIAL TEAR, And the campaign will, in all probability, be as exciting as any that has transpsred since the outbreak of the latewar. THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE will uphold and defend the principles of the Republican party with its accustomed vigor and earnestness. Our platform consists of:
Equal and exact justice, at the ballot-box and before the law, to all men, without distinction of race or color.
Amnesty for all political offences connected with the rebellion. A tariff for public revenue only.
Preservation of the public lands for actual settlers under the Homestead and Pre-emption laws.
Opposition to monopolies of every description, and to corruption in every form. Such reform of the civil service as shall make men and fitness, instead of partsan zeal or per. sonal favoritism, the test of perferment to Federal offices.
Our readers, and the public generally, are so well acqnainted with the tone and quality of THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, that we need not enlarge upon that subject. Near the close of the 25th year of our existence as a public journal, we had the misfortune, In common with a large majosity of the business community of Chicago, to be burned out, losing thereby the most commodious newspaper building in the United States, and being deprived, temporarily, of the use of our extensive printing mnchinery. We have commenced rebuilding our ruined edifice on a more enduring plan than before, and we have effected arrangements for the use of machinery which practically gives us the same facilities that we possessed before tne fire. Upon occupation of our new building and machinery THE TRIBUNE will be issued as an octavo, and contain eight pages of reading matter.
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE will be published regularly ns heretofore eacn Wednesday upon the following

This Journal is now thoroughly identified with the greatest political necessity of the hoar —uncompromising warfare against all forms of corruption, whether in national or local government. For years past the TIMES has been exposing the demoralizing schemes of self-in-terested politicians, and its recent warfare upon the Tammany Democrats has been received with universal approval. It has adhered to the pledge given in lis original prospectus, more than twenty years age, that the public should be truly represented, and their Interests faithfully guarded through its columns. Its record has been pure and honorable, and the highest aim of its proprietors is to render it more and more worthy of its past history, and of the confidence which the public repose In it. Two out of three of the original proprietors still direct its policy, and guide it on all public questions. They propose that the TIMES shall continue to keep clear of all narrow and unworthy influences and cliques, and aim to represent the great body of the public, as distinguished from personal factions It occupies a perfectly independent position, and is free to speak the truth on all sublccts and about all men. Its greatly increased circulation throughout the country adds to its power and influence. It will continue to be a faithful exponent of Republican principles, and advocate with nntiring energy every cause which tends to further the welfare of the people.
The utmost care will be devoted to gathering political news from special sources during the Presidential canvass. This department of the paper will be unusually full and trustworthy. Renewed enterprise will be exhibited in every department of tbe paper, and large space will be devoted to reports of speeches made during elections, or on other important political occasions.
A very full summary of news, and many general articles of great interest, are published In the Semi-Weekly editions and in the Weekly edition there is an unabridged report of the proceedings ot the Farmers' Club, an excellent summary of political Information, and a great variety of matter suita le for family reading.
The NEW YORK TIMES is pre-eminently a family Baper, all objectionable advertisements being rigidly excluded and it has a constantly increasing circulation among the most respectable classes of the community.
