RAILROAD MATTERS.

The new depot of the Indianapolis & St. Louis Railroad, in this city, is rapidly approaching completion. It is not a large building, but one of great convenience and comfort. From its construction on so small a scale for such a splendid road, we have renewed hopes of a grand Union Depot here at no distant day.
The Indianapolis, Bloomington & Western Railroad is now receiving six new locomotives from New Jersey, and 600 freight cars from St. Louis.
Tha Marshall Messenger says: "The Casey North & South Railroad is progressing lively. While there a few days since, we saw Mr. Little, the contractor. He is engaged in grading whenever the weather will permit. We are satified that during the year 1B72 the iron horse will be heard and seen going north and south through Casey. The same road will pass through Westfield. The running of a railroad through Westfield will produce as visible an effect on its citizens as the introduction of a sunbeam into a nest of bats. We are also assured by one of the most discerning men of Clark cou&ty that the building of the Casey railroad insures the building of the Wabash Valley Railroad. Whenever that road is a fixed (act then will Paris clamor for the continuance of their North & South Railroad through Marshall and on to the SoOth. With the splendid railroad we now have through our county (the St. L. V. & T. H.) The Casey North & South road, the Wabash Valley road and the road from Terre Haute through Darwin on towards the iron mountain of Missouri, we can claim justly of being a railroad county iu earnest. The construction of these roads are not only possible but exceedingly probable."
FASHION*AND GOSSIP.
"Not at home"—an out-and-out lie. The net to catch a wife with—a coronet.

A few months ago Madame 051ivier refused to admit to her saloon any ladies costumed in full dress. She gave the cold shoulder to the beauties who were all shoulders. Now it is the Crown Princess of Prussia who has set herself at the head of a plain dress movement.
They have had a new and rather whimsical developemet of photography in London. A young woman married to an old man, goes out for a walk and meets somewhere in the street a man with whom she has some acquaintance. He stops and speaks to her. As they are conversing, an itinerant photographer, a new sort of a" street character, here comes up and makes a group of the unconscious pair. He then shows it to them and they are rather amused and the man buys it and presents it to the womanj who takes it home with her and puts it into her drawer. Very foolishly she does not tell her husband, and the latter findiug the photograph at ouce assumed that the pair grouped together must be lover3, and iu a sudden fit of jealous fury he attempts to kill his wife. No explanation satisfied him, and the woman at last has to appear before the police magistrates and claim their protection.
Why Not President for Life The officeholder who proposes the reelection of President Grant for a second term in 1872 might just as well propose to re-elect him to that office as long as he lives. Or why don't they at once change the Constitution so that the President may be chosen for life without the trouble of holding elections every four years? All the arguments in favor of his re-election at all are equally conclusive in favor of making him President so long as he remains in this world.
Gen. Washington and Gen. Jackson refused to be re-elected for a third term. But does anybody suppose that Gen. Grant would refuse, or that his desire for re-election would bo any less keen in 1876 than in 1872? Besides, in 1876 his power will be greatly extended and consolidated, his cohorts of officeholders will have greater control of the people, and the Republican press generally will be more servile than it is now. His supporters ought not to make two bites of a cherry. Let them go in like men in favor of bis re-election for life,—N. Sun,

Teacher simmers down, and lets them both off. (Mem.— Nolale little boy thought teacher wouldn't lick him if he told the truth, and knew the big boy would if he didn't.
SENATOR TRUMBULL applied the touchstone yesterday on the question of Civil Service Reform. The result of the test may be briefly set down as confirming a suspicion that, like the noted advocates of the Main Law, most of them are in favor of the Civil Service Reform, but opposed to its execution. One wonderful Senator made the astonishing discovery that the New York Custom House, as art present constituted, is an illustration of a reformed Civil Service. It was fitting that he should be the same man who should have the folly to revive the exploded nonsense about the improved economy there during the term of the late incumbent. Given heavier imports aud a law much more easily enforced, and the proportion of cost of collection to amount of revenue collected can not help being diminished that is the whole secret of the vaunted economy. The man who does not know that the York Custom House is to-day the most glaring example of all the evils which the Civil Service Reform is intended to prevent, is too innocent to be safe in Washington. Senator Trumbull's expose of the needs of the situation seems to have been luminous and convincing and while we grieve to discern so little eagerness for worthy action upon it by the majority of his Republican a ssociates, we have strong hopes that his skillful work may at least^snow them the danger of attempting either to ignore or to palter with it.—N. Y. Tribune.
IN official figures are to be credited, less than 19,000 Germans werekilled outright in the late Franco-Prussian war. All the ingenious means for destroying life perfected under the patronage of Verhuel Napoleon were used to sweep away the invading Prussians, and yet but *18,000 and some odd of the latter yielded up their lives on the soil of France. It would appear that the more destructive the weapons of warfare the less the average number of killed. In biblical times, when men fought hand-to-hand with battle-axe and spear, and chariots with scythes swept over the martial plain, it was not unusual for hundreds of thousands to be slain in a single day. Iu a battle between the petty nations of Israel and Judah, five hundred thousand of the former are recorded to have fallen by the hands of their brethren. In the battle of Apulia, between Hannibal and the Romans, fifty thousand of the latter were slaiu. Csesar slaughtered nearly a million of Gauls in his conquest of their country. In the more reoeut battle of Leipsic, when modern arms had attained what was then considered perfection, over 100,000 of the French and the Allies were killed and wounded. At Waterloo, 37,000 men Were killed and wounded on the side of the Allies. In the desperate battle of Antietam, Md., the loss in killed and wounded of both sides, exceeded 32,000. Though hundreds of thousands of men were contending in the FrancoPrussian war, not a single battle was as sanguinary as that between the Union and rebel forces at Antietam, not to mention a dozen others of our battles.
AN old farmer of Sumner was out one fine day looking over his broad acres, with an axe over his shoulder, aud a small dog at his heels. They espied a woodchuck. The dog gave chase and drove him into the stone wall where action immediately commenced. The dog would draw the woodchuck partly out from the wall, and the woodchuck would take the dog back. The old gentleman's sympathy getting high on the side of the dog, he thought he must help him. So putting himself in position with axe above the dog, waited for the extraction of the woodchuck, when he would cut him down. Soon an opportunity offered, and the old man struck, but the woodchuck gathered up at the same, took the dog in far enough to receive the blow, and the dog was killed on the spot. For year* after, the old gentleman in relating the story would always add: "And that dog don't know to this day, but what the woodcbuck killed hltn."

LONDON, Dec. 16.—The bulletins from the Prince of Wales' physicians continue to be of the most favorable character, and a speedy convalescence of the royal sufferer is now almost certain.
The following is tha latest bulletin from Sandringbam, up to eight o'clock this morning:
The Prince of Wales remained tranquil during the night, and favorable symptoms continue.
TORONTO, Dec. 16.—Alexis is at Montreal with his suite, occupying twenty rooms at the St. Lawrence Hotel. A public reception will likely be given, now that the Prince of Wales is out of danger.
In Parliament last night a direct motion of a want of confidence in the present Ontario Mini.••try was carried by a majority of one. Treasurer Wood re signed, but others were unwilling, as some of the constituencies are not represented in the House.
NEW YORK, December 16.—The Grand Jury yesterday found several indictments against Wm. Tweed, charging him with the crime of felony. During the afternoon the bench warrants were placed in the hands of Sheriff Brennan, for the arrest of Tweed. The Sheriff at once waited on Tweed and served warrants on him. It is stated that Tweed was taken entirely by surprise at this unexpected move, and he and his friends were not aware that the examination before the Grand Jury had been proceeding.
The developments made before the Grand Jury are staged to be very comprehensive and important. Indictments will be read in the Court of General Sessions to-day at 11 o'clock A. M. Immediately after his arrest Tweed was taken to the Metropolitan Hotel by the Sheriff and deputy, and confined in rooms 112 and 111 under the guardianship of Deputy Sheriff Keyes. During the evening he was visited by a number of .friends. He will be arraigned at the Court of General Sessions to-day at 11 o'clock A. M. The question of bail will then be settled.
Recorder Hacket will hold the Court. Chas. O'Connor will appear on behalf of the people, associating himself with Mr. Darvin, and will doubtless make a great effort to prevent the release of Tweed on insufficient bail. It is said tha£ indictments against Tweed have been fully prepared for some days past.
About four o'clock P. M. yesterday Sheriff Brennan and his deputy, called at the Ludlow street jail, and obtaining admission to Mr. Connolly's room, informed him they had a warrant for .his arrest on a criminal charge.
The warrant was then deposited with Warden Tracyu' It charges the ExComptroller with gross misdemeanor. He will be arraigned with Tweed, before Recorder Hacket, at 11 o'clock to-day, One count of the indictment charges Connolly with complicity in the swindle against the city government amounting to $100,000, and there are several others of equal magnitude. The indictments against Garvey, Ingersoll and Woodward, will be submitted to the Recorder to-day, and further investigations against others continue promptly.
NEW YORK, December 16.—The Metropolitan Hotel, where Tweed is confined, was the object of interest to hundreds this morning. Tweed denied himself to all except his counsel and a few intimate friends. A large crowd gathered in the vicinity of the hotel before" eleven o'clock.
Tweed was taken out by the private door and put into a carriage and driven off to the Sheriff's office, thus disappointing the spectators. Sheriff Brennan then, about 11 o'clock, proceeded to the Court House with his prisoner, and on entering, which the doors of the main entrance were immediately fastened to keep back the crowd.
The court is densely crowded by politicians of all classes, and the officers with difficulty preserve order. The prisoner appeared at 11:45. Judges Bedford, Fuilerton, Graham and Stoughton then took their seats. As Tweed entered his friends checked, and his opponents hissed, the hisses predominating. Tweed appeared to feel his position keenly.
After a short preliminary examination, the District Attorney said, loudly, "I move to commit the prisoner, without bail."
Tweed's counsel did not object, and Judge Bedford granted the motion. As soon as the motion was granted, Tweed's counsel stated that he had not heard it. The District Attorney stated that he had made it, and after a brief argument, Tweed left the Court room in the Sheriff's charge. It is understood that application will be immediately made in the Supreme Court for bail.
NEW YORK,Dec.16.—Thelongdelayed case of James Fisk, Jr., under criminal prosecution, will come up again to-day at Yorkville before Judge Bailey. No more postponements will be admitted. Miss Mansfield's examination will be resumed to-day.
NEW YORK, December 16*.—The FiskMansfield came up before Judge Bixby in the Yorkville Police Court to-day. By agreement of the counsel Judge ySSjjj
Bixby adjourned the hearing until this day three weeks. The new year will probably witness considerable changes in the Erie management. A powerful combination of the Atlantic & Great Western Railway Company and English ^stockholders of the Erie road has been formed and the war for possession of the road, in the courts and at the new election of Directors, which the Legislature will be asked to order, will be sharp and decisive.
James McHenry, formerly Sir Morton Peters' agent, now represents the Atlantic & Great Western Railroad, and Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, our Representa tive in Spain, returns to the United States as authorized agents of English stockholders, and will at once take part in the litigation.
ALBANY, Dec. 16.—Judge Larned granted an order to-day reducing Con nolly's bail to $500,000.
WAHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 16.—It is believed that Colorado, New Mexico and Utah will be admitted into the Union, notwithstanding the new apportionment bill refuses each Territory having a population less than one hundred and thirty seven thousand.
CHICAGO, Dec. 16—A committee of the Legislature is in session here to see what can be done to restore the burnt records of real estate. They found by in quiring at an abstract maker's office, that abstracts can be furnished of transfers for the past thirty-seven years, and steps will probably be taken to purchase them Large numbers of North Side residents are alarmed at the erection of so many cheap frame buildings, and have petitioned the Council to pass astringent fire limit law.
Two freight trains on the Michigan Central Railroad collided yesterday, at Niles, about nine miles from Chicago. Both locomotives were entirely demolished, ten or twelve cars broken up, and three men killed, namely, both engineers and one fireman, and two others severely injured. Trains were delayed several hours, and the 9 o'clock train last night did not leave the city.

A Stinging Rebuke.
The Rev. Father Hennessy, pastor St. Patrick's Church, Bergen City, delivered a terrible and bitter sermon, on Sunday last, levelling his thunderbolts against the gin-mill keepers, and the lukewarm and indifferent Catholics of his mission. During his discourse he said: "I am going to get a list of all the grog-shops and gin-place proprietors, and if they don't close their houses every Saturday night at twelve o'clock, and not open them till Monday, I wiil not allow themselves nor their wives to come near this altar. They must give up their unholy work. Let themsbe content with selling groceries. It is better to make fifty cents a day honestly and justly with the blessing of God upon it, than ten dollars a day with the curse of God upon it. Remember that the money gained in this dirty work will not profit you long. It will vanish like the froth on the river. You are carrying souls to destruction and ruin you are robbing the widow and the orphan, the poor aud the needy. Cease, cease your work, then, and resolve to get an honest and decent living."

PROSPECTUS FOR 1872.
The Weekly Chicago Tribune, for the year 1872, will consist of first-class original and sele: ted matter, embracing the latest news by telegraph and mail, down to the hour of going to press, editorials, correspondence, repoits of the proceedings of Congress and of the Legislatures of the Western States, and of important public meetings and political speeches, fl nancial and commercial intelligence, reports of the grain, provision, lumber, dry goods, cattle, and general markets, notices of new pablications, and other literary and miscellaneous intelligence. It will also contain weekly summaries of information concerning theworkof
REBUILDING CHICAGO, And restoring its former greatness after 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 late war. THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE will uphold and'iefend 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 personal favoritism, the test of perferment to Federal offices.
Our readers, and the public generally, are so well acquainted 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 en'duriug 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 as heretofore eacn Wednesday upon the following

THE NEW YORK TIMES.
Daily, Weekly and Semi-Weekly.
This journal is now thoroughly identified with the greatest political necessity of the hour —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 its original prospectus, more than twenty years ago, that the public should be truly represented, a,nd 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 axl 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 subjects 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 untiring 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' ithe Presidential canvass. This department of the paper will -be unusually full and trustworthy. Renewed enterprise will be exhibited in every department of the pap ex, 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 of 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 ptffcer, all objectionable advertisements being rigidly excluded audit has a constantly increasing circulation among the most respectable classes of the community.
