THE SPIRIT OF THE TIMES.—The following we clip from the Scranton (Pa.) Democrat:
INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF. —I offer myself to the Independent voters of Luzerne as a candidate tor the office of Sheriff. I have no claims upon any party, as I have never opposed a ticket, nor defeated a regular nominee but having been in the whisky business for several years, I keep on band a full stock of electioneering material, which I promise to use without stint or scruple. I desire it distinctly understood that I am not for sale before election, but my liquors are, and I shall enter the campaign with all the spirit at my command. If elected, I pledge myself not to sell out one cent below the rates ruling the maket for five years past. JAMES .TOHNSON.
Though the above Johnson is not of the firm of Bowser & Johnson, this city, they keep the same article, and respectfully call the attention of politicians to the fact, in order that they keep up with "the spirit of the times
The Olvmpic Theater, Chicago, 111., opened Nov. 30th, to a packed house. The greater portion of the company failed to make connection, consequently the performance was light. Mr. J. H. Wood, manager, promises to have the full company on hand by December 4th.—N. Y. Clipper.
In that promise to do better next evening, establishes the identity of the "Mr. J. H. Wood" referred to by the Clipper. John is good on the run—even running from his creditors—and we doubt not that he will make a success of running the Chicago Olympic. Wonder if that pink of perfection who run away with him will be the "star" of the organization Of course, John would deadhead all his creditors to the performance, if they chance to be in Chicago some evening. Then he would have a full house.

From the Decatur Daily Magnet,
IMPORTANT RAILROAD CONNECTION.
Decatur Tia Terre Haute to Cincinnati.
Iiidiaiia's Mineral and Oilier Resonrces.
We have had occasion at different times to speak of the Paris & Decatur Bailroad, now under process of construe tion. Without being particularly carried away with the idea of getting this new road, we thought that as a competing line with the Mattoon & Decatur road, it would be a good line for shippers of produce and by its connection with the Terre Haute & Alton road, some forty-five miles
east
of Mattoon, it would
give us almost a direct route to the former enterprising city, and from thence a line to Indianapolis—"our long sought rest"—and thus make amends to a considerable extent for the loss, if we are to lose it, of the Indiana & Illinois Central.
We also knew the great value of a more direct route to the coal fields in the vicinity of Brazil. Recent events, however, cause us to look upon our Paris & Decatur road with greatly increased interest. Some months ago we, at differ ent times, met with newspaper paragraphs to the effect that a direct railroad from Cincinnati to Terre Haute was in contemplation. Having our hands full of other matters, we paid but little atten tion to these rumors. But the subject beginning to wax warmer, and what, to us, at the start, was mere speculation, beginning to take on proportions and solidity, we, a few days ago, thought the matter entitled to special attention. So we collected together several of our Indiana exchanges and took down our maps and "interviewed" them. The result is that we find a direct railroad from Terre Haute to Cincinnati to be a fixed fact. The former city recently voted $100,000 to the road in consideration of getting the machine shops. Upon the strength of this a section of ten miles was let and work commenced at once.
But that is not all: Terre Haute is not to be the teminus. "Westward the course of empire takes its way," and, consqeuently a line from Terre Haute, to Paris by way of Eldridge is to be made to connect with the Paris & Decatur road. Thiuk of that, ye people of Central Illinois. Look on your maps and see yourself connected by a bee-line road with the Queen city—that best of pork markets.
But important as a direct line to Cincinnati may be to us, there are other considerations of more consequence still. Hear what the State Geologist of Indiana says of the country east of Terre Haute, though which the road passes. [After copying a portion of Professor Cox's letter from the Evening GAZETTE regarding the coal fields and the Cincinnati & Terre Haute Railroad, the writer continues.]
The advantages of this road, in connection with the Paris & Decatur road to this section of Central Illinois will be immense. Heretofore one great argument for the Indiana & Illinois Central was that it would give us a tolerably direct line to Cincinnati. The road in question will be so far more direct as to place u» from forty to fifty miles nearer Cincinnati than by the Indiana & Illinois Central route.
Another plea was that it would take us in the vicinity of the Brazil block coal region. Our Decatur, Paris, Terre Haute & Cincinnati road will not only take us near the Brazil coal region, but will, as may be seen by any one acquainted with the route, take us directly through the heart of th§ block coal region of Vigo, Clay and Owen counties, Indiana.
Another argument for the Indiana & Illinois Central was that it would take us through a timber country. The road in questiou will open up to us a timbered region far superior to any traversed by the former. Another argument was that it would take "us through regions abounding in building stone. Here again the road in question has a decided advantage. From persons familiar tfith the subject we learn that some twenty miles east of Terre Haute, there commences and continues for ten or fifteen miles large deposits of fine sandstone for foundations and building purposes, easily quarried and worked, and in unlimited quantities. Before the latter entirely disappears, different kinds of limestone set in, excellent for lime and building purposes, and continues thrpugh several counties.
About forty-eight miles east of Terre Haute the road passes near the famous Ellettsville quarries, which have furnished stone for some of the finest fronts in Indianapolis. This stone can be easily got out in any size desired. We have once or twice noticed on the cars at the Central depot, great columns of this stone on their way to some point north. At present it must first be carried on the Louisville fc Chicago road to Greencastle Junction, thence west to Vandalia or Pana, thence north on the Central. If it is so good and cheap as to justify all this zigzag transportation, will it not be of great importance to us to have a straight road to the quarry
But more yet: About twenty-five miles east of Terre Haute there sets in a country which, from its soil and topography, is peculiarly adapted to peach culture. This section continues in a greater or less extent for thirty miles or upwards. The country is somewhat peculiar. Much of it is made up of hills the latter often being in the shape of sweet potato hills. On the summit and part of the way down the sides of these hills, peaches are about as certain a crop as in Southern Illinois, and of a much better quality than we generally obtain from the latter locality. The flavor and delicacy of peaches grown in this section, though partly dependent on the soil, are mainly owing to the evenness of temperature during the growing and ripening season. Those high and isolated points being free" from fogs, and dews, and fairly exposed to the sun and air, and being much warmer of nights than other localities, give the peach a delicacy of flavor not found in other localities.
Summiug it up in a nutshell, the Cincinnati & Terre Haute road, its continution to Paris, then to connect with the Paris & Decatur road, will give us the shortest line to Cincinnati. It will, by the shortest possible route, render the vast deposits of Indiana's block coal quite accessible to our rolling mill, our founderies, and all other manufacturing interests that require thisquality of coal. It will supply us with abundant stone for foundations, buildings, and for ouamentation. It will furnish timber for our agricultural works hubs, fellows, spokes and axles for our wagon and carriage makers poplar scantling for our pump makers walnut, $a«li, cherry, and other timber for our furniture manufacturers, and
staves
in never ending quantities for
our coopers, to say nothing of the delicious peaches for all classes. But this is not all: A uew railroad has been surveyed from Terre Haute to New Albany, Ind., and persons are now engaged along the route obtaining subscriptions. The terminus of this road will really be Louisville, and as the latter city will unquestionably, before many years, be connected by the straightest possible through line with some of the Southern Atlantic ports, the former road will become too important to exist only on paper and in surveys, but it will be built.
•is&ssSikLi
Taking a southeastern course, this road begins to enter upon coal fields soon after leaving Terre Haute and passing through them, without intermission for a number of miles, it enters upon Green county, the great coal county of the State, where different strata of the min eral are found, some of which are nine feet thick. Traversing these vast beds of coal for twelve or fifteen miles, the road crosses the west fork of White river, soon after which it enters upon a hilly, almost mountainous country. Here are iuexhaustible deposits of good iron ore. Nor does the coal cease, but the immense beds of coal beneath, and the long mountainous ranges of iron ore above, seem, as it were, to be striving for the ascendency. Here, an exchange tells us, "one hundred lbs. of first rate coal can be bought at the mine for five cents." Here, too, quantities of valuable timber is found.
So much for the coal, timber, mineral, stone and fruit wealth of the regions with which the Paris & Decatur, and other new roads are to connect with us. But if there were to be no reciprocal in terest between those mineral localities and Central Illinois, the question would merely be, "can we get our coal, pig, stone, lumber and fruit to better advantage there than else where?" It is, however, the reciprocal interests yet to spring up between those mineral sections, and our food-produc-ing section to which we look for the greatest benefits. Those best acquainted with the former localities inform us that when an army of miners begin to develop the mineral resources of Western Indiana, the country contiguous will be wholly inadequate to supply them with provisions and as all the surplus food raised immediately east of the mining localities will be needed for those who reside still farther east, the miners will have to draw their food from the west. When this comes to pass no country can enter into competition with Central Illinois.
We have thus somewhat carefully looked into this matter, and somewhat hurriedly given the result to our readers and though in our haste we may have missed tlie facts slightly in some points, in the m:.in our statements are correct.
From tlie New York Star.
THE POOR GIRLS.
A Wonder that More of Them Do Not Go to Destruci ion— What Man Would Resist? Why, I know a young woman, the daughter of a clergyman, who was brougnt up tenderly and handled with care, fashioned quite slenderly, with nice curly hair, who to-day starves threefourths of her time, and cries the rest.
What for? Well, principally, because she can't get enough to eat, and her clothes are next to nothing.
Most women wear thick flannel undershirts in winter—she don't. Also thick flannel, or cotton wool or whatever drawers—she don't.
Likewise warm flannel petticoats, nieely gathered at the waistband, and nice little embroideries about the skirt— she don't.
And good, stout warm clothes all over, head and foot, chest and arms, stomach and legs—she don't. And why not? Because her father was too darned pious to save enough on a $1,000 salary to pay for a life insurance policy, and when he died, leaving a sickly widow and seven children, she and all the rest had to go out to earn their living, to get their dinners, not just at once, as I suggested to the Duke, but every day, Sunday, holiday, wet day, hot day, sick day and today.
And she didn't know how. And she don't now. So she tramps the street in a rusty suit of black, which the Grand Duke's dog wouldn't put his fleas in, and by dint of a^titch here, nursing there, copying for this lawyer, tending store for the Dollar people, running errands for an old acquaintance, and constant-striving, she manages to keep skin and bone together, and no more.
I have seen that woman shivering on the corner of Fourteenth street and Broadway when the velvet robe of dashing harlots swept by her I have imagined the tempter at her ear I have seen her blush as thoughtless men, who soberly would resent for her an iusult, laughingly fling at her a joke or a suggestion, and I wondered then, as I marvel now, that she did not rush as fast as her feet would carry her to some of the hospitable haunts of ill fame in Twenty-sev-enth street, and sell her soul and body for bread and meat and clothes and comfort.
We men know but little of life after all. It so easy for us with head or hand to eonipel a living, and if not a fortune or a competency, at least a regular, a subsistence, that we fail to comprehend the struggles which our sisters must pass through, who seek their own support. The shop girls of New York are, notably honest, proverbially chaste. But their average pay is about six dollars a week, out of which never less than $3 or $4 must go for board, about a dollar for car or bus, a little something for washing and nothing is left for clothes, nothing for the Doctor, nothing for extra comforts, and not one cent for pleasure of any kind.
How many men would remain honest under like pressure? How many would preserve virtue, if they had any marketable article about them, under like circumstances.
WE have taken from an old journal the following curious document it was beliqv.ed to have been destroyed at the burning, years ago, of the Archiepiscopal Palace at Bruges. It purports to be an order for the execution of JeSus Christ. It runs thus:
Jesus of Nazareth, of the Jewish tribe of Judea, convicted of imposture and rebellion against the divine authority of Tiberius Augustus, Emperor of the Romans, having for this sacrilege been condemned to die on the cross by sentence of the judge, Pontius Pilate, on the prosecution of our Lord, Herod, lieutenant of the Emperor of Judea, shall be taken to-morrow morning, the 23d day of the ides of March, to the usual place of punishment, under the escort of a company of the Praetorian guard. The so-called King of the Je\vs shall be taken out by the Strunean gate. All the public officers and the subjects of the Emperor are directed to lend their aid to the execution of this sentence. (Signed) Capel, Jerusalem, 22d day of the ides of March, year of Rome, 783.
THERE is probably no man in the State of Massachusetts inorej popular to-day than CharlesSumner. Elected originally to the United States Senate by a majority, we believe, of only a single vote, he could now command more strength in the old Bay State than any other man in the Republican party. The people love him, honor him, listen to his counsels, and accept him as a glorious political leader.— Brooklyn Union.
Denver, Colorado, is goiug to build a $100,000 Opera House. The proprietor is now advertising for game boosters and vicious rats, to entertain the game mountaineers with their favorite amusement when the time arrives for the dedication of the mammoth structure. Fun ahead at Denver equal to the grand opening of the "Franks Hotel," at that place.

LONDON, Dec. 18.—A dispatch from Londonderry, this morning, states that considerable excitement prevails in consequence of the annual parade, an efflgy burning by apprentices having been prohibited, but a parade may be attempted. A political riot is feared, and a large force of police and military are held ready.
PARIS, December 18.—The Orleans Princes have promulgated the announce ment to consider themselves no longer bound to abstain from sitting in the National Assembly, and exercising the rights and privileges belonging to members. Their claims have been submitted to Thiers, but he differing from them, has referred the whole subject for a decision of the superior tribunal.
NEW YORK, Dec. 18.—A dispute regarding the interational parade took place last evening between a party of Irishmen on Second avenue and Twentyeighth street, and stone, clubs and slung shots we freely used, and an unknown man who was in the fight received terrible punishment. His jaw was broken and his body terribly bruised. He was taken to the Bellevue Hospital, where it was found that his skull was fractured. The injuries received will probably prove fatal. Several of the men engaged in the malee have been arrested.
NEW YORK, December 18.—Win. M. Tweed remained at the Metropolitan Hotel all day yesterday. It is said that other indictments have been found against him, and that he will be arrested again to-day.
Sheriff Brennan had five orders of arrest*given him on Friday. Two of these were detainers for Connolly, to be placed in the hands of Warden Tracey one was a warrant served on Tweed, and two others are now in the hands of the Sheriff. The last two it is believed to be either for James M. Sweeney and Ingersoll or Garvey and Woodward.
NEW YORK, Dec. 18.—A most daring robbery occurred last Friday about halfpast two in the afternoon. R. M. Blatchford, a prominent Jawyer, came out of the vaults of the Safe Deposit Company, corner of Broadway and Liberty streets, with a package of bonds, which he incautiously laid on a fruit stand while making a purchase. Being addressed by a stranger, be turned to answer him, when another party snatched the envelope containing the bonds and rapidly disappeared. Blachford, on discovering the loss, was completely dumbfounded, and did not make it known until the following morning. The packag^* contained $52,500 in U. S. 5-20 bonds of the issue of 1867, A reward of $5,000 has been offered for the recovery of the bonds, and the matter has been placed in the hands of detectives.
NEW YORK,December18.—The Times' Washington special of the 17th says as soon as the Senate has finished the question now before it on the resolution of instructions to the new Senate Committee of Investigation, the General Amnesty Bill will very probably be taken up for consideration, though there are several other measures struggling for precedence in action. Among them are Morton's resolution for adjournment uhtil the third Monday in May, the proceedings against the recuscant Ku KIux witnesses and a bill touching the administration of the eight hour law towards certain men of Massachusetts as Mr. Sumner calls them.
An order will be issued from the War Department to-morrow, placing Paymaster General Brice on the retired list on January 1st.
BROOKLYN, Dec. 18.—Henry Ward Beecher preached last evening to a large congregation. His discourse was mainly advice to the young, in course of which, speaking of the working classes, he said "There is a tendency among the laboring classes to reduce the hours of work to eight hours.' Hike and abhor it. I like it because it is a sign of the growing intelligence of the working classes, and I abhor it because it would seem that work is hateful. I don't believe the common people are going to work out their fortunes by collusion, except by hard knocks. I don't believe a majority of them will be able, at eight hours work, to educate their children and to leave their families in a better condition. I do not wish to say anything against the workingman, I who have blood of a blacksmith in my wim, but I want to praise work."
CHICAGO, Dec. 18.—A terrible explosion occurred this afternoon in Wahl's glue factory, near Areher avenue. One of the large boilers exploded for lack of water, and one end of the heavy mass was sent with terrific force through the roof three hundred feet. Another piece demolished a house, and another a canal boat. Charles Becker, the fireman, Jno. Rich, boss carpenter, and Jno. Rliinehardt, were instantly killed, and Joseph Myer* wis scalded, probably fatally.

4MERICAN EPIGRAMS.
of
Good and Characteristic Utterances Great Americans. Franklin said many: things that have passed into maxims, but nothing that is better known and remembered than "He paid dear, verv dear, for his whistle."
Washington made but very few epigrammatic speeches. Hre is one: "To be prepared for war is the most effectual means of preserving peace.''
Did you ever hear of old John Dickinson Well, he waote of Americans in 1768, "By uniting we stand, by dividing we fall."
Patrick Henry, as every schoolboy knows, gave us, "Give me liberty or give me death," and "If this be treason, make the most of it."
Thomas Paine had many quotable epigrammatic sentences: "Rose iike a rocket, fell like a stick," "Times that try men's souls," "One step from the sublime to the ridiculous," etc.
Jefferson's writings are so besprinkled that it is difficult to select. Iu despair we jump at "Few die and none resign," just as applicable now to officeholders as in Jefferson's time.
Henry Lee gave George Washington his immortal title, "First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen."
Charles Cotesworth Pickney declared in favor of "Millons for defense, but not one cent for tribute."
John Adams did not say "Live or die, survive or perish, I'm for the
Constitur
tion," but Daniel Webster said it for him. 'Peaceably if we can, forcibly if we mnst," is from Josiah Quincy, 1811.
The revolutionary age aloue would fill our article, had we time to gather the pearls. Coming down, we pass greater, but not more famous men.
Davy Crockett was the illustrious author of "Be sure you are right, then go ahead."
Andrew Jacksou gave us "The Union—it must be preserved." Benton lost almost his original indentity in "Old Bullion, from his "hard money," doctrines.
Scott's "Hasty plate of soup" lasted his lifetime. Taylor's battle order. "A little more grape, Capt.'-Jiragg," will be quoted after he is forfiotten by "all the world and the rest of mankind."
Seward is known for the "irrepressible conflict" wherever the English language is spoken.
Rufus Choate gave us "glittering generalities." Tom Corwin's "welcome with bloody hands to hospitable graves gave him more unenviable criticism than any other saying of his life.
Douglas applied a "squatter sovereign," though it is probable that Cass invented it and Calhoun named it.
War times gave us no end to epigrammatic utterances." Those of Lincoln alone would fill a volume chiefestof all these that noble, God-like sentiment, "With charity for all, and malace toward none."
THE defeat of the Trumbull resolution in the Senate is one of tliose unfortunate errors with which superserviceable friends continually damage the best of causes. It is a great mistake, because it places the Administration in a false position befor® the country—a position in which it seems to hide from examination, when everybody knows it cannot afford to be placed in any such predicament. We once more protest against this suicidal policy, and we appeal to the President to lose no time in relieving himself from the fatally false position in which, whether mistakenly or willfully, his special friends have^ placed not only himself, but a great* party.—N. Y. Tribune.'

PltOsPEOTUS 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, reports of the proceedings of Congress and of the Legislatures of the Western States, and of important public meetings and political speeches, financial and commercial Intelligence, reports of the grain provision, lumber, dry goods, cattle, and general markets, notices of new publications, and other literary and miscellaneous intelligence, rt will also contain weekly summaries of information concerning the work of
REBUILDING CHICAGO,
And restoring its former greatness alter its late devastation by Are. The year 1872, it will be remembered, Is a
PRESIDEJfTIALIEAR,
And the campaign will, in all probability, be as exciting as any that has Iranspsred since the outbreak of the late war. THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE will uphold aud«efend 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.
Presi rvation of the public lands for actual settlers under the Homestead and Pre-emption laws.
Opposition to monopolies of every description and to corruption in ever.v 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 '1RIBUNE, that we need not enlarge upon that subject. Near the close of the 25tli ye ir of our existence as a public journal we had the misfortune, in common with a large mnjosity of the business community of Chicago, to be burned out, losing thereby the most comnrodious newspaper building in the United States, and being deprived, temporarily of the use of our extensive printing mncliinery. We have commenced renuilding 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 Are. 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 demorallzii 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 «iven in its original prospectus, more than twenty years ago, 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 pasthistOry,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 ail 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 fafthful 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 the Presidential canvass. This department of the paper will he unusually full and trustworthy. Renewed enterprise will be exhibited in every department of the 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 oi 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 paper, all objectionable advertisements being rigidly excluded and it has a constantly increasing circulation among the most respectable classes of the community.
