MISTAKEN IDENTITY.—A very mirthprovoking case of mistaken identity occurred at one of the depots in this city this morning it is said-. It appears that a gray-headed patriarch of a Terre Hauteentotwent to the train to see his little daughter off on the train, she having been spending the holidays at home. The gentleman assisted his daughter to a seat near the window and meeting ivith an old frieud in the coach, he accepted au invitation to go and "celebrate" Upon returning, the train was about moving out, the window of the car where he had left his daughter being raised. Rushing frantically up to the open window, lie noticed who he claims he thought was the girl. No time to lose, in determining the question beyond a doubt, he bestows Kiss after kisa thereon, the reports attracting the attention of all the "bystanders as would the firing of a derriager iu rapid succession. Imagine his mortification, upon the object of his affection knocking one of his optics into "pi," by planting a handful of bones iu his face, meanwhile exclaiming Ooh you seductive gray-headed spalpeeu ye, and its me thatye'd be after tratingto the likes of that, take that. The train moves off, ditto, the victim of his own thoughtless discretion slightly discomfitted. If any -of
our
readers wish to have the appear
ance of having made New Years' call even unto intoxication, let them find out who this gentleman was and then mention it to him in public. _t

In speaking of the marriage of Mr. Thomas Harper, of this city, and Miss IdaHusted, of Muncie, the Telegraph, of that city, says: "We thought all the time that Mr. Harper was not coming from Terre Haute for nothing. He has taken one of Muncie's fairest daughters, but such is life. They Lave started out on the voyage of life amid smiles and wishes of happiness from many, very many friends. May the ending be as bright as the commencement is the wish of the Telegraph. May the 28th of December ever be a happy anniversary, bringing to their minds a day in the long ago which brought to them a lire of happiness."
R. J. Bright, Esq., official cat-skinner of Indiana, was in the city yesterday, and registered at the Terre Haute House. All the cats in town sought refuge in garrets, old houses and other out of the way places during his stay. They were obliged to hide to save their hides.

.A NIAGARA HOTEL.
How the Grand Duke-was Taken In and Done For. The hotels of Niagara Falls have the reputation of making it a point to swindle their customers whenever they have an opportunity. This peculiar trait was exemplified in a most unmistakable manner on the occasion of the Grand Ducal party stopping at the SpencerHouse, tf second-rate hotel, the first-class houses there having been closed for the winter. The party stopped three-fourths of a day, and ate one meal. The landlord, having an idea that now was his time to make a bighand, presented the moderate bill of $1,500. The bill was refused payment as a matter of course, and the landlord thereupon had his porters goto the baggage car of the railroad and seize the baggage of the party for the purpose of compelling the payment of his swindling charge. The matter was finally compromised by the payment of $1,000. Gentlemen in the vicinity, indignant at the rascally proceeding, earnestly advised the Treasurer of the party to pay under protest, and then adopt legal means to recover the overcharge. This suggestions was declined, as the Grand Duke did not wish to be involved in any lay suit. ......
A clergyman down East, opposed to the introduction of instrumental music iu the ohureh, but overruled by the congregation, gave out the next Sunday morning at the commencement of the service, "We will now fiddle and sing

LONDON, Jan. 2.—It is stated aulhoritively that, in the Geneva Conference, England will demur to all the claims by the United States for indirect damages. The Times of this morning states that the American claims for indirect damages enter the most nebulas region hypothesis.
MADRID, January 2.—It is again reliably asserted that the government intends the appointment of Admiral Parlo Barnabe to supersede Senor Roberts as Minister to Washington.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2.—Notwithstanding the damp and cloudy weather yesterday, the opening of the new year was generally observed in a manner that has been popular in this city for many years, and the custom of devoting the occasion to making calls was indulged in by all in this city. In Brooklyn there was a total suspension of business, and thoroughfares were crowded with those who were anxious to see old acquaintances and exchange compliments of the season.
Among the affrays occurring at every hour in all parts of the city last night, the most serious in its results, was that which happened at a late hour at the corner of Avenue A and Eighteenth street, during which Felix O'Keene, 21 years of age, was stabbed in the neck by an unknown person. He was conveyed to the hospital, where it was found that the wound was extremely dangerous. Like all the other bloodshed, this is supposed to be due to the drunkenness which marked the day before its predecessor.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2.—During a dispute, on board the schooner Julia E. Gamage, yesterday afternoon, between Wm. H. Harris, mate of the vessel, and three of the crew, Harris drew a knife and stabbed two of them, Samuel Hasson and Robt. E. Burleigh. Hasson was stabbed in the left breast, the blade passing through his heart. He fell backward insensible and died in three minutes. Burleigh received two cuts on the left side, both of which are dangerous. Harris delivered himself up at the police station, where he claimed to have acted in self defence. An iuquest is to be held to-day.
During the present month it is expected a vigorous assault will be made upon the present Erie management.
Gen. Sickles, U. S. Minister to Spain, is still in the city and holds daily conference with Attorney General Barlow, with a view of perfecting arrangements for an attack of the Atlantic & Great Western and certain English Erie stockholders upon Messrs. Fisk. and Gould and their associates. The war will be carried on both of the Court and the Legislature. The latter will be exclusively attended to by Gen. Sickles in order, as it is stated, that he may be able while annihilating Fisk and Gould, to make combinations for the Senatorial contest next winter. General Sickles, on the opinion of many wellinformed politicians, will prove a formidable opponent to Senator Conkling.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2.—A meeting of the Tammany Society was to have been held last evening, and it was understood that all the members inimical to Tweed, Hall, Sweeny and Connolly would attend and take some definite action in relation to these Tammany leaders. Not sufficient members attended to form a quorum, and it was finally concluded after an informal conference, that unless the persons named, speedily send in their resignations to the Secretary of the society, a special meeting would be held to expell them from their positions as sachems of the society and elect other men to fill the vacancies.
CHICAGO, Jan. 2.—New Year's day passed off quietly. There was much more calling than was expected. Alexis was driven around the city and to the stock yards, and in the evening made several calls with General Sheridan. He also received visitors at the Hotel. Sunday he spent indoors, and in a stroll. Himself and party were invited to a sacred concert by the Vienna Lady Orchestra at the Globe Theater, Sunday night, but did not go, the weather being threatening. The party leave this afternoon for Milwaukee, where they will stay till Thursday returning, Will remain here till Friday morning, when he will start for St. Louis after two or three ._days there will go to Omaha, and from thence to the plains, where Gen. Sheridan has arranged for a buffalo hunt.

From tlic Indianapolis Sentinel January 1st.
BRAZIL AND BRIER HILL.
Their Relative Merits.
To the Editor of the Sentinel SIR My attention has been called to the editorial comments in your issue of the 27th instant, on a recent letter of mine to the New York Tribune, on the block coals of Indiana, wherein after admitting the general accuracy of my statements, you add that I err in one particular, which, which, if left uncontradicted, "might be of serious injury to our block coal interests." You then quote my statement: "These block coals, we know from experience, when tested in a blast furnace, have all the qualities of charcoal, combined with a greater reducing power. Two and a half tons of coal are required to make a ton of irou. They are not quite ass strong in fixed carbon as the Mahoning or Shenango coals, where two are required, but they produce a more highly steamed pig metal."
You then add "All that Mr. Foster says of the quality and characteristics of the block coal of Indiana is true, but his statement that the coal of the Brazil seams is not quite as strong in fixed carbon as the Mahoning or Shenango coals, and that two and a half tons of Clay county block coal is required to make a ton of iron, and only two tons of the Mahoning or Shenango is required to make the same quantity of iron, is incorrect. Just the reverse is the fact. The Clay county coal is stronger in carbon, and it takes less to make a ton of iron than the Mahoning or Shenango coals— hence the former is more valuable than the latter."
I trust that you will allow me sufficient
space
in your'columns to vindicate the accuracy of my statements. What is known as the "Brier Hill" coal seam, from the fact that at point its pecaliar qualities were first developed, is that conspicuously displayed iu the Masoning and Shenango Valleys of northern Ohio and northwestern Pennsylvania. It is about four feet thick, and its geological position in the coal strata is about eighty feet above the conglomerate—about the same position as that occupied by the Brazil seam. Like that seam, it is blocklike iu structure, aud has nearly the same physical tharacters, except these: It is more thoroughly compacted, particularly in the Shenango Valley, and communicate less crock in handling, in these respects resembling the coals of Spencer county in your State. Chemically, it is richer in fixed carbon, as shown by the subjoined analysis. I will quote all the assays of the Brazil coals given by Prof. Cox, which I assume to be correct in reference to the amount ot fixed carbon,and then compare them with the assays of Brier Hill in my possession.
BRAZIL SEAM.
Barnett's 57 0 Garlic S Collins 57 5 Knightsville, No. 1 59 8

McCleland, No. 1 54 7 No. 2 53 0 Star Mine (ji 5 Average in fixed carbon 57 2

Youflgstown (Newberry) 61 25 Chesnut Ridge (Wormley) 50 00 Ormsby (Blaney 64 40 Brier Hill (Blaney) 67 60 Average in fixed carbon bS 56
Thus it will be seen by these assays, that there is a difference of six per cent, of fixed carbon in favor of Brier Hill.
I would further state, that iu the Chicago market,, where these respective coals come in direct competition, the Brier Hill commands one dollar more a ton than the Brazil,and why there should be this difference I know not, except that it results from the difference of fixed carbon.
As to their respective merits as a reducting power, I would state that, refermgto my memoranda, made nearly two years ago, the manager of the Planet furnace in the Brazil district stated to me that to make a ton of iron required two and one-half tons of coal and little over half a ton of slack to run the engine. Hence the coals from the Star mine are used, which, by the assays of Prof. Cox, before quoted, are the richest in fixed carbon of any of the Brazil coals.
In a recent conversation with Mr. A. L. Crawford, the manager of the Vigo furnace atTerre Haute, a gentleman who has had a practical experience in working both classes of coals, in reply to my question, "Which do you prefer?" he said ttiat it took a half a tun more of Brazil to make a ton of iron, but that the iron was of abetter quality.
I have thus given you my authorities for making that statement to which you object.
I do not estimate the value of a coal for iron smelting purposes, by the amount of fixed carbon which it contains if so the anthracites which contain less than ten per ceus. of volatile materials, would be the most valuable. In their combustion they are apt to burn the iron and injure the furnace linings. What is required is just fixed carbon enough to reduce the ore, producing a gentle uniform heat, approaching as much as possible the softness and combustibity of charcoal, and these qualities, I believe, the Brazil seam nassesses in an eminent degree.

Improved Method of Vaccination. In view of the great spread of the small-pox at the present day in America and Europe, and the importance of successful vaccination, the suggestion of an English physician, Mr. Ellis, may be of some importance. This gentleman re-' marks that ordinary vaccination is performed by soaping off the epidermis, and thrusting the vaccine virus into a puncture made by the lancet. A greatly improved method, however, consists in first raising a small blister by a drop of cuntharides applied to the skin. This is to be pricked, and the drop of fluid let out, and then a fine vaccine point put into this place, and withdrawn after a moment of delay the epidermis falls back and quite excludes the air, shutting out any germs that may be floating in the atmosphere. This method has been practiced by Mr. Ellis for twenty years and out of hundreds of cases of vaccination which he has performed, he has never had one instance of bloodpoisoning or abscess, while by the ordinary method the occurrence of secondary abscess is by no means uncommon, and that of pyseima is often observed. The comparative safety of this method is believed to be due, first, to the exclusiou of the air and second, to the lesser size of the aperture for the introduction of mischief than when th« punctures are made by the lancet.—Indianapolis Journal of Commerce.

Mark Twain on the Reporter. I reported on that morning newspaper three years, and it was pretty hard work. But I enjoyed its attractions. Reporting is the best school in the world to get a knowledge of human beings, human nature, and human ways. A nice, gentlemanly reporter—I make no references —is well treated by everybody. Just think of the wide range of his acquaintanceship, his experience of life and society! No other occupation brings a man into such familar sociable relations with all grades and classes of people. The last thing at nightmidnight—he goes browsiug around after items among police and jailbirds, in the lock-up, questioning the prisoners and making lasting friendships with some of the wor^0 ?eople in the world. [Laughter.] AiK *he very next evening lie gets himself u^, regardless of expense, puts on all the good clothes his friends have got [laughter], goes and takes dinner with tne Governor, or the Commander-in-Chief of the district, the United States Senator, ami some more of the upper crust of society^ He is on good terms with all of them, a^d isj^esent at every public gathering,

A reporter has to lie a little, of course, or they would discharge him. That i-' the only drawback to tiie profession. That is why I left it. [Laughter.] lain different from Washington I have a higher and grander standard of principle. Washington could not lie. I can lie, but I won't. [Prolonged laughter.] Reporting is fascinating, but then it is distressing to have to lie so. Lying is bad—lying is very bad. Every, individual in this house knows that by experience. I think that for a man to tell a lie when he can't make anything by it is wrong. [Laughter.]
James Parton in the Atlantic Monthly.
A Pen-Picture of Jefferson. Jefferson was a stripling of seventeen, tall, raw-boned, freckled, aud sandyhaired, when, in 1760, he came to Williamsburg from the Far West of Virginia, to enter the College of William and Mary. With his large feet and hands, his thick wrists, and promineut cheek-bones and chin, he could not have been accounted handsome or graceful. He is described, however, as a fresh, bright, healthy-look-ing youth, as straight as a gun-barrel, sinewy and strong, with that alertness of movement which comes of early familiarity with saddle, gun, canoe, minuet, and country-dance—that sure, elastic tread and ease of bearing which we still observe in conutry-bred lads who have been exempt from the ruder toils of agriculture, while enjoying, in full measure, the freedom and the sports of the country. His teeth, too, were perfect, which alone redeems a countenance destitute of other charms his eyes, which were of hazelgray, were beaming and expressive and his demeanor gave assurance of a gentle heart and sympathetic, inquisitive mind.
Such lads, eager and uniformed, still come to college from honest country homes, in regions where agriculture is carried on upon a scale that allows some leisure to the farmer's family, some liberality of expenditure, books, music, a tincture of art, and hospitable habits. How welcome, how dear, to instructors worthy of them, are such unhackneyed minds in bodies unimpaired
A Horse Frozen to Death While His Owner is Taking a "Smile." Yesterday afternoon a German farmer, while coming to town with some marketing, stopped at a saloon on Rebecca street, Allegheny, to wet his whistle, and left his team standing in the street. The day being very cold, the farmer lingered by the fire and took another drink. After resting and warming himself inwardly and outwardly, he left the warm precincts of "mine host," got into the wagon, seized the reins, cracked the whip—but the horse never stirred. The driver thinking the horse was slightly mulish, got out, looked the animal in the eye—as George Washington did his father when he was telling that "hatchet story"— seized the bridle and gave it a vigorous jerk, when, lo! the animal was frozen dead, and fell over, heels upward, smashing one of the shafts in the fall. The mystery was now solved, and the indulgent farmer left his wagon stand and went in search of another "hoss."—Pittsburg Post, 22c?.

HAIB VISOR,
For the Renovation of the Hair!
The Great Desideratum of the Age! A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hai^. Faded or gray hair is soon restored to its original color and the gloss and freshness of youth,. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured.1by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands trophiedor decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from falling oft and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a
nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.
