The rest incident to the holidays has strengthened all classes of the community for renewed exertions in the great battle of life.
THE
IT
Journal has a KuKlux sensation
this morning from Elbridge, Illinois, of masked meu entering the residence of Mr. Harry Harbougli, and demanding his "hog money." This hoggish demand was not complied with, because the hog money was safely deposited in bank. Exit KuKlux swearing, and taking with them $25 in money, a pistol and pocket knife. Next
seems a pity that the purest of elements should be made the subject of so many poetically inclined lunatics, when the "spell of the muses" is upon them. The latest evidence of the mild insanity of a poet, is the following verse, which we clip from a poem on "The First Snow Fall
From shed new roofed with Carrara, Came Chanticleer's muffled brow. The stiff rails softenedwith swan's down,
And still fluttered down the snow,
We call the attention of our readers to the seeond line where the festive rooster is referred to as having a "muffled brow," by the confused effusionist. Let that poet take a more kindred subject to his nature and ability, water for instance.
LECTURE.—Mr.
O. H. Fethers, of St.
Louis, will give a miscellaneous and dramatic reading at the Opera House Friday evening of this week, the sale of seats commencing at B. G. Cox's book store to-morrow morning. No extra charge for reserve seats. Mr. Fethers is unknown here bv our literary talent generally, though he is highly complimented by the press, of which the following are samples:
One ot the most finished elocutionists that ever visited Cincinnati.—Daily Enquirer, Cincinnati.
Possessed of a voice wonderful in its smoothness and sweetness.—Daily Gazette, Cincinnati.
The reading was without fault.—Daily Times and Chronicle, Cincinnati.
THE
late city reporter of the Evansville Courier, our young friend Chas. S. Hall, has resigned his position and is succeeded by Mr. Charles Cottom, late of the New Albauy Daily Ledger, who entered upon the duties of city editor January 1. Charley Hall has been appointed as a cadet to theNationai Military Academy at West Point, where he goes in May. The intervening time will be occupied in preparation for his appointment. He is a brilliaut young fellow, and will make his mark in the world. Mr. Cottom, who succeeds him on the Courier, is an experienced journalist, and will make the local columns of the Courier interesting.
PERSONAL.—Signor
Blitz, the slight-
of-hand man, is comiug. Hon. H. D. Scott, of this city, was elected Vice President of the State Horticultural Society at the meeting in Indianapolis yesterday.
J. F. Cutter, Esq., of Cleveland, Ohio, and Mr. John F. Wallack, of the Western Union Telegraphic Company, Indianapolis, were in the city this morniug, stopping at the Terre Haute House.
Hon. John T. Scott, one of the truly pious quartette business managers of the Terre Haute Ceatenary Suuday (School News, took his coffee clear and Wabash oysters rare at the Terre Haute House this noon. Elder Huston presided at the festal board, on that eventful occasion.
Knights of Pythias.
There is a movement on foot in this city to organize a lodge of the Knights of Pythias, as we stated in the
GAZETTE
some time tince. New Year's Day Mr. Chas. R. Carter, G. R. S., of Indiana, visited this city in the interest of the Order. Several names were secured, and the matter left in charge of Mr. Chas. E. Lightnor, who can be found most any hour of the day, or early in the evening, at the establishment of the Riddles, Main street. We are gratified that there is so good a prospect for the establishment of a lodge of this noble Order in our city. It is an Order rapidly becoming very popular, the result of merit in the true sense of the term. In the State of Pennsylvania alone, there are four hundred lodges and a large membership in eaeh one. There are four Lodges in Indianapolis, we learn, while at Louisville, New Albany and other Western cities, they are very strong. All over the land, lodges of this Order are being established, and so far as w$ have heard, are all in most prosperous and flourishing coudition. Lee- Terre Haute keep up with the times, and organize a lodge

CITY OF CINCINNATI, CITY CLERK'S OFFICE, Jan. 23, 1871.
F. Schwingrouber, Esq., City Clerk, Terre Haute, Ind. DEAR SIR:—Our citizens pay $2.25 per month for gas, exclusive of the Government tax ot 25 cents per month.
The price for our street lamps is fixed by contract, to be the average price paid in five cities named therein, and this year is ascertained to be $2.07 exclusive of tax. The lamps are lit all night, and every night, by a time table agreed upon by the Council, and varies of course with the season, the number of hours burned each day being changed weekly. In December, for instance, the lights are burned the longest, viz.: 416h.30 min., and in June the shortest time 216Li. 30 min. The posts are all furnished with a four foot burner. Each lamp, according to the time-table burns about 3,830 hours, and four (4) feet per hour, making 15,320 cubic feet, which at $2.32 (contract price and Government tax added,) makes the cost of gas for each post per year, $35.'54.
The Gas Company also (by contract) clean, repair, light and extinguish the lamps for the sum of $5 per year each, making the total expense of each post $40.54.
I also send you a copy of a report made by a Committee of Council at the time of making our last contract with the Gas Company, -which may contain some information of value to you.

MRS. C. D. CARRINGTON,
THE
assisted by
Miss Kate Morgan, Mr. and Mrs. Richardson, Professors Paige and Shide, will give a concert Ut Turner's Hall, Brazil, to-morrow evening, January 4, which many of our citizens would find it to their profit to attend, and certainly there is not a Brazilian of musical taste who can afford to remain away. Thanks for a complimentary.
following vivid illustration of the
folly, wickedness and ruin which characterizes fashionable extravagance, we copy from the Cleveland Herald:
A marked instance in which "a fool and his money are soon parted" has lately reached its culmination in New York. A young man pamed Buttie eame to his majority about two years since, his twenty-first birth day bringing him into control of a fortune of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. He soon married a Southern lady, who, it would seem, had to an uncommon degree a weakness peculiarly pertaining to Southern women—fofldness for jewelry and dress—for she permitted her husband to load her down, in their first-year .of married life, with thirty thousand dollars in diamonds, and |also sported a six thousand dollar wardrobe. This idiotic spendthrift took very expensive rooms at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, drove his fast horses, and the two devoted their time to cutting a swell generally. He also gambled in Wall street. On the Black Friday he lost $30,000, and the expenses the first year, of himself and wife, were some $60,000. Becoming rapidly impecunious he sold his horses aud changed his boarding place, going to the Gilsey House, where he forged a draft in payment of his board, was detected and arrested. His friends' casting about, to help him out, discovered that he had sold for less half theircost his wife's diamonds, back to the jewelers of whom they were purchased, that he lost the money iu three days in stocks, aud that he had secretly pawned his wife's wardrobe,- and was not only a forger but a beggar the only son of one of the old-style merchant princes who had battled the world successfully, and died in the delusion that his son would not be forced to work for a living.
The wife, it is said, was ignorant of the coudition of thiugs until the arrest of her husband as a forger. Great sympathy is expressed for her. And yet, with sense on he'r part, the wreck might not have come. She piled on the dry goods and jewelry without stint knowing, if she knew anything, that none but silly womeh make such show cases of themselves. She. indulged in the idleness, the dissipation, the recklessness of a fashionable hotel, and she had no ambition but to spend money, eclipse competitors in Central Park, and throw away her opportunities for usefulness, by a life of hotel indolence, freedom :from rastraints, and an entire repudiation of all the duties of life. Sympathy is wasted on such people, and we can only point to their wicked lives as a warning to those who would shirk responsibility, and who attempt to live solely for themselves.
THE
London Society for the Reclama
tion of Fallen Women held twenty-six midnight meetings last year, some in the aristocratic portions of the city, but most of them, of course, in the miserable dens of vice in the East End. There were one thousand one hundred and sixty-five women at the meetings last year, varying in age from thirteen to thirty-five years, Of this number one hundred and sixtyr. nine were reclaimed. One hundred and eight were returned to their homes, and the others were sent to different reformatory institutions.

CHICAGO, January 3.—The judge of the Criminal Court yesterday delivered sweeping charge to the new Grand Jury who will pursue their investigations regarding the corruption of Aldermen. He charged them that giving bribes was punishable with imprisonment of from one to five years, and urged them to perform their whole duty faithfully. It is believed that several more prominent officials will be indicted.

SALT LAKE CITY,
the
Vincennes Times of recent date we learn that "C. M. Allen, attorney for the I. & V. R. E. Company, has completed the purchase of the grounds required by the company at that place for shops, yards, &c. He .has bought, in all, eighteen acres, at the aggregate cost of about $12,000. This property, before the build ing of the I. & V. R. R. would have been considered very dear at half the price. From the quantity of land bought, very extensive shops and improvements are to be built there." Vincennes is to be congratulated on her good fortune in securing these shops, for all such improvements are to the upbuilding of a town or city and the consequent prosperity of her citizens,
Jan. 3.—Brigham
Young was arrested in this city yesterday on an indictment for murder. Hon Henry
C.
Hempstead and Thomas Fitch
Esq., appeared for the defendant and State Attorney Bates for the prosecution. The defendant attorney moved that the prisoner be admitted to bail on account of his age and infirmity. The prosecution moved that it would not object to bail if the sum be fixed at $500,000.
The Court ruled that under the circumstances of there being no jail in the city under the control of the United States authorities, that the United States Marshal could guard him in some residence One of Brigham's own houses was selected, aud the prisoner is now iu custody of the Marshal thereat. There is much excitement iu regard to the arrest and taking into custody of their chief among the faithful, though no outbreak is apprehended.

PITTSBURG,
January 3.—Four million
bushels of coal has left for the south. BROOKLYN, Jan. 3.—At a few minutes past 8 o'clock last night the whole coun try in the neighborhood of Hunter's Point and Green Point was shaken as if by an earthquake, caused by the explosion of a large still in Cozzens' kero sene oil refinery, on Newton creek.
The works are very extensive and are in Blissville, Queens county, a few miles from this city. In a few moments after the explosion the refinery was entirely wrapped in flames and totally destroyed together with thousands of gallons of oil. The flames from the burning buildings illuminated the country for miles around.
The engineer was in the building at the timeof the explosion, but providentially escaped with his life. The fire department were utterly powerless to contend with the flames and the entire property proved to be a wreck. The loss is estimated to be over $100,000, on which there was no insurance.
ROCHESTER, N. Y.
Jan.
3.—There
terrible excitement in this city, growing out of the arrest of a negro charged with awful and nameless crime, a little girl being the victim. Last evening efforts were made to mob the accused, whereupon the military were ordered out. Stones were thrown at them by the iufuriated people. A volley was fired by the troops, which killed two in offensive men. This added much to infuriate the would-be mobbers, who vented their indignation against the military.
Further bloodshed has not yet occurred though it is feared. MILWAUKEE,
January 3.—The Grand
Duke arrived yesterday afternoon, accompanied from Chicago by Mr. Gault Superintendent of the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad, Mr. Sargent, Superintendent of the Michigan Central Railroad, Geo. M. Pullman and a few others.
The party was met at the depot by the Reception Committee with a band and military company. An immense crowd lined the streets leading to the hotel which were decked in a gorgeous manner. About 200 guests were present at the banquet in the evening, including the Governor and other State officers. It was a brilliant affair.

Suit was brought here to compel an accounting, and judgment of ten thousand dol« lars was demanded. The case was tried about a month ago before a commission consisting of Hon. J. M. LaRue, Hon. D. P. Vinton and Hon. John L. Miller, and a flndiu'g was filed to-day for the defendant for two thousand aud two hundred dollars on his cross petition.

Civil service—good waiters.^
Julian on Grant.
Everybody in Indiana knows George W.Julian. He has been for mauy long years the pioneer of the Republican party in this State. Here is what he says about Grant: "The Republican party needs a new departure on the question of Civil Service Reform. It stands uncommitted on this issue, while some of its most influential leaders ignore it, aud others scout it. If the party expects to live, and to have an honorable place in American politics, it must meet the question at ouce, aud deal with it fearlessly and thoroughly. It should begin the work by a declaration in favor of the One Term principle for the Presidency, and make it a plank in the platform next year. Nothing could be more shameful, more dishonoring to political decency than the conduct of Gen. Grant in using all the vast power and patronage of his high office in securing his re-election for a seeond term hurling from office, honest, capable and faithful men, simply to make places for scalawags and thieves like Tom. Murphy, of New York, and brother-in-law Casey, of New Orleans, and heaping honors and emoluments upon his poor kin, while accepting presents of fine houses aud tempting largesses in money from men unknown to fame, who are paid off in fat places. It is not neces-. sary for the Republican party to make war on Gen. Grant but if it lacks the courage to rebuke these scandalous proceedings it can scarcely hope to command the respect of the honest men in its ranks."
Niagara Falls Equalled in India. Col. Haig, in his account of his journey to discover the best road to Jegdalpoor, in the Bastor country, thus describes the Falls of Iudravati, which must very nearly come up to those of Niagara: "The falls are certainly one of the grandest sights in India, though from their inaccessible position few will probably ever see them. The river was in flood within ten feet (according to the peeple on its banks) of its extreme height. About four miles above the falls (which area mile below the village of Chitrakot) the Indravati is joined by the Narnagi, a rivor of about three-fourths its size. The united waters of the two, swollen by the heavy rains to a volume which I eckoned at about thirty million cubic yards per hour, descend perpendicularly a height of ninety-four feet over a ledge of sandstone rocks, about five hundred yards in length, and slightly curved in one place at one end so as to give the fall something of a horse-shoeshape. The rich coloring of the water, varying from a reddish brown at the crest of the falls, to a brilliant ochre where more broken in its descent, adds much to the beauty of the sight. The lower part of the fall is hidden* by the clouds of spray, and in damp weather, immediately after a shower, when the air is loaded with moisture, these rise even higher than the crest of the falls, fill the whole chasm below, and even hide the country on the opposite bank from view, disclosing only at intervals the final plunge ot the immense of water into tbe gulf beneath. The scene then becomes one of the wildest and grandest imaginable."—Cincinnati Times and Chronicle.

HAIR VISOR.
AYEB'S
A I I O
For the Renovation of the Hair! The Great Desideratum of tlie Age! A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hair. Faded or gray hair is soon restored to its original color and the gloss ana freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands trophied or 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
HAIR DRESSING, 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.
