AT Galesburg (III.) the local editor of a paper pot mad at a neighbor and threw a bowl of buttermilk in his face and over his new clothes. This roused his neighbor's temper, and he promptly constructed a new head for him and placed it in position.

THE Fort Wayne Gazette says that "Mr. Clark who left this city several weeks afro as advance agent to the Weber blondes, ha? returned, the company havinsr gone where the "Woodbine Twineth." He is accompanied by Mrs. Clark. It took place in Detroit about two •weeks ago."

THE managing editor of the Indianaplis Morning Journal, aside from his honor and fame as a hang aau editor, has had a table sauce named for him. This honor because he is so saucy to thope in inferior positions, such as Horace Greeley, of the N. Y. Tribune, Murat Halstead, of the Cincinnati Commercial, and others.

A COMMUNICATION to the Evening GAZETTE written on both sidts with red ink and interlined with blue is respectfully declined, because it dazzles the eyes of our compositors so they can't "set" it —and because there is no sense but nonsense in it. Need we add that it is sentimental poetry?

"OLD WHITE" and company will "Shi.i Fane" with Riiftrs at Terre Haute next Tnmdny .—Intlianapolis Journal of Commerce,

Riggs will make his first appearance at Dowling Hall this evening, supported by that old veteran F. G. While, the cornelian, and the Academy of Music Company. White will be there, and, of course, it will be fuuny.

THE festive bachelor's are marshalling and consolidating their forces for a more determined and successful repistence to the encroachment of Leap year privileges. We know one who needs reinforcements, lest he surrender to superior numbers, for he sits at the table with four or five rosy-cheeked young marriageble ladies each day. He is a'veteran, and should be protected ere'it be too late.

THE LaFayette Dispatch correspondent of this city says By the way the GAZETTE is as popular as ever, and its circulation is increasing daily. It is a good paper in every respect.

The GAZETTE is becoming more and more popular each day of its promising young life, while its circulation has been increased in a ratio unparalleled in the history of daily journalistic enterprise in this city, or State, outside of Indianapolis, we feel assured.

WHEN the Indianapolis Journal makes the following admission, it is high time that each and every citizen of Terre Haute should credit the truthfulness of the fact, because that sterling sheet don't say anything discouraging to its native city in favor of the Prairie City, unless it be very true: "The Terre Haute & Vandalia road was mainly built by the capital and enterprise of the citizens of Terre Haute, and that city is reaping its reward in having an abundant supply of cheap fuel."

ONE of the city papers a tew days ago, announced that Robert Linn had placarded his wagon, "small-pox in Terre Haute." We areauthorized by Mr. Linn to say that he will give $50 to anyone who has seen him drive a wagon during the last three month—fifty dollars to any one who ever saw such a card on his wagon, and fifty dollars to any one who ever saw such acard anywhere. He will also bet fifty dollars that the man who told the editor the story was a rival in busines and fif.y dollars that he is both a rascal, knave, coward and fool. Fifty do lurs more will be given, if anyresponsi le man in this county can be found, who believes that "Bob" Linu would do any such mean thing.

THE DIVINE AND THIS DEMONIACAL AT INDIANAPOLIS.—The Indianapolis pipers come to us this morning giving a fall report of the winks of the divine NUsson, and attempted a verbatim report of the cuss words used by the demoniacal Bii^noli. In this latter enterprise, however, the short-haud writers, Messrs. Drapier and S'agg, most signally failed, though there are no better stenographer.in the West than they. The reason they failed, Brignoli swore iu foreigu accent. For breakfast, Niisson took snow-bird.s on toast, while Brignoli satisfied his appetite on boiled owl, with rye-bread dressing. The rest of the company did as well as might be expected under the circum* stances. All will exercise their musical voices at the Academy of Music this evening. To-morrow evening Niisson wi not hing. Miss Cary will receive her applause meanwhile, which we fear will make the divine mad.

Second Ward—337 votes polled at 2:2-5 P. M. It is estimated that there were 60 against, which is generally agreed upon by both parties.

Fifth Ward at 2:15 P. M., 297 votes cast. It is estimated by friends of subscription at 5 to 1 in favor of and by opponents 3 to 1.

The voting has been very orderly up to the time of going to press, and a pretty full vote had been secured, while persistent efforts were being made to get out as lull force, for and against, as possible by the friends and opponents of the sub ecription.

FOR THE LADIES.

Ladies suits must be of like material throughout, including hat. Bias bauds and small flounces is the latest fashionable style of trimming silk underskirts.

An artificial rosebud, worn in the but-ton-hole, is now considered quite the correct thing by our society young men.

The latest style in rings and bracelets •is in the shape of a serpent, with ruby eyes, and the back studded with small precious stones.

Fichus, or tight fitting capes, or waists of velvet plush or velveteen the color of the dress, are very much worn with street costumes tins season.

Black silk costumes trimmed with Chinchilla and the fur of the silver fox are very elegant for receptions and for the street, although rather conspicuous.

White lace veils, dotted with black, are no longer worn, as they make the face look as if enammelled, and give a "rast" look to the quietest dressed lady. Plain tulle, pointed in front and edged with Maltese lace, is the style most preferred.

In the reign of Queen Margaret, of Scotland, a law was passed that any maiden lady of high degree should have the privilege of choosing for a husband the one on whom she had set her fancy. If the man refused to marry her he was heavily fiued, according to his worldly possessions, the only ground for exemption being a previous betrothal.

In reference to Anna Dickinson's story of her one insult, which consisted in a man pressing her foot in a railroad car, not stopping when she threatened to complain to the conductor, the Chicago Post says: "Anna didn't tell all the story. The man repeated the insult, and Anna called the conductor, who heard the statement of both parties. Anna put her feet in evidence, and the conductor decided that the man must have somewhere to put his feet, and told Anna that she should, in the future, wear hers sideways. That's the truth of the whole matter."

Union Depot Enlargement. It ia now generally rumored, although not officially made public, that the Union Depot Board has purchased a great portion of the real estate on which theBagle Machiue Works now stand. This is in accordance with what was intimated in the Sentinel some days ago. It is alo reported that the Board has the refusal of the National Hotel property, the price to be fixed by a disinterested party. Al.«o that a bid has been made for "Congres-s Hall," and that the proprietor, Mr. Moran, is holding out for $40,000. It will be glad news if some definite plan has been agreed upon for increasing the Union Depot accommodations. There ia a still further rumor, apparently well authenticated, that the Eagle Machine Works company will purchase the real estate immediately south of their preseut location, so as still retain their business stand near the Union Depot.—Jnd. Sentinel.

MADRID, Jan. 22.—The contest for the Presidency of the Cortes continues. The Ministerial party are using every effort to elect Senor Herronia, while the Senatorial party advocate the claims of SeRuise Sorrilla. The result cannot be predicted.

PARIS, Jan. 22.—Arlis Dufour, a well known advocate of Free Trade, is dead. NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 22.—The procla mation published by Carter, as Speaker of the Louisiana House of Representatives. on Sunday morning, calling on the citizens to arm themselves and rendezvous to-day at 11 o'clock created great excitement, and bodies of men without arms paraded the streets throughout yesterday.

This morning companies of armed men, numbering from 20 to 200, approached from various quarters, armed with muskets, rifles, revolvers, and double-barrelled shot guns. The citizens armed and unarmed, crowded around the Clay statue to the number of several thousand, where speaker Carter made a speech, which was responded to by loud cheers.

At 11 o'clock this morning a dispatch from Gen. Emery was handed to Speaker Carter, the purport of which was that the General had received news from Washington to interfere with United States troops. Two divisions of armed citizens had already moved toward the State House. Upon reading the dispatch Col. Carter ordered the recall of three division, aud the disposal of troops.

Last night about one o'clock, a number of men grossed the river to Algiers aud seized upon the arms of Company C, of the Louisiana Military, they then got on the ferry boat and when iu the midst of the river insisted upon being landed in the Third District, the lower aud more thiuly populated part of the city, which was done. The presence of the United States troops will always paralize the efforts of the citizens, otherwise the forces on watch would not save the onset, as the militia sympathise with the people.

Among the armed men assembled on the streets of Warmouth, were seven companies of militia, aud the opponents of Warmouth had reliable information that the police would not contend against the citizens, as they said they were not employed to take aside on political questions.

The unsuccessful effort of Carter will undoubtedly strengthen Warmouth for the moment, but the Reformers look to a triumph in the next general election, provided the registration laws are repealed. During the whole excitement there was no disturbance or casualty, the people acquiescing to disperse quietly as soon as General Emery's dispatch had been read.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 22.—The Bee says of the proceedings of the Senate Gov. Warmoth, himself, was on the floor of the Senate, in person, directing the movements of his followers. No doubt he felt that his fortunes were trembling in the balance, and that success depended upon his personal efforts and supervision, but we must say that a more shameless proceeding was never enacted in any legislative assembly. The Governor prompted the Chair sometimes by word of mouth and sometimes, by signal, and did not hesitate in prompting members who are regarded as his friends. He flitted about from side to side of his chamber, constantly conversing with Senators Campbell, Hunsacker, Harris and Anderson, who seemed to be the leaders of Warmtuth. The result was obtained through the treachery of two Senators.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.—There were twenty-five deaths from small-pox last week, but only three cases were reported during that time.

It is understood that the American Atlantic Cable Company intend beginning operations soon, laying their cable from the ^tremity of Long Islaud to a point on the Euglish or Dutch coast.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.—B. J. Beekman, Receiver of the Uniou Square National Bank, expects to pay a dividend of 50 ptr cent, on the 10th, and requests all depositors to call and prove claims.

The run on the Third Avenue Savings Bank still continues. It has now lasted eighteen days, with but little diminution since the commencement, and over two millions of dollars have been withdrawn.

Tweed, Hall and Connolly dispute the conflicting rumors which have beeu circulated during the past few days concerning the city. They are still in the city. Connolly's bondsmen will justify to-day.

Jack Glass, a notorious Sixth Ward ruffian ami bully, was dangerously and probably fatally stabbed yesterday in a saloon known as McElery's restaurant, 109 Nassau street. Glass used insolent and insultiug language, and conducted himself outrageously in the saloon. James Costello, a waiter, remonstrated with him, but Glass abused him, and turning upon him, he attacked Glas--who defied him to expel him. Costello caught up a carving knife, and dealt Glass a slight cut in the neck both then grappled, and Costello inflicted seven more fearful wounds^ upon his opponent, vjlass was taken to the hospital, where ise is believed to be dying.

NEW "YORK, Jan. 22.—At the Fifth Avenue Hotel last night, the subject ol dibcussion was the failure of the Market

Savings Bank. It is anticipated that a run on several other Savings Banks may be made this morning. The cause of the failure of the Market Savings Bank, was the inability of the Broad street firm of Heiser & Co. to pay a debt of $120,000 for insurance bonds, due by them to the batik.

The Chamber of Commerce has received a letter from Augustus Adee, United States Charge d'Affairs, United States Legation, Madrid, remitting three hundred and fourteen pounds sterling, it being the receipts from a performance at the Royal Opera House, given under the patronage of the King and Queen of Spain, for the Chicago sufferers.

NEW YORK, January 22.—A Tribune's special from Washington says: United States District Attorney Bates, of Utah, arrived to consult with the President and the Attorney General, regarding further legal proceedings against the Mormons.

The Apportionment bill still remains in the Judiciary Committee of the Senate, where there is much personal difference of opinion as to the number of members of which House should consist and the best way of ciphering out the ratio.

Senator Edmunds makes a speech in the Senate to-day in favor of Civil Service Reform.

It is believed that Sumner will allow his bill to go over again informally, but if not, Edmunds will move civil service as an amendment to that bill and secure the floor. It is believed that a bill similar to that of Sumner's Civil Rights bill will be passed in the House within a few days, aud will also be voted in the Senate before Sumner's bill is received.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.—The Times' special from Washington says: The select committee to investigate Louisiana affairs will probably leave Tuesday or Wednesday.

The one term question appears likely to be again agitated at no distant date. There is reason to believe that the report of the Committee on Ways and Means on Boufcwell's syndicate negotiations, which will be made this week, will vindicate the Secretary thoroughly.

BROOKLYN,

Jan, 22.—A fire occurred

yesterday in the distillery of Oscar King, on Division street, Williamsburg, and destroyed stills,&c.,to the amount of $15,000. Partly insured.

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.—Robert Collier preached a strong sermon yesterday against the course of Rev. Mr. Hepworth, tor leaving the Unitarian faith taking the text beginning "They went out from us but they are not of us." He said Hepworth had only fifteen months before affirmed his entire faith in the Unitarian belief. He said Mr. Hepworth went out to the frontier, but he didn't like it staid a little while but discovered enough in that time to satisfy him.

Now he goes back to draw up the compact for life. On his way from the frontier he meets Brother Beecher, aud cries outtohim,

lam

going with you," but

he was never more mistaken. Beecher is daily drawing nigh unto the frontier His march is westward all the lime. It Mr. Hepworth wishes to accompany him he will have to retrace his steps, otherwise their meeting will be a mere sham.

The address was closed with a terse and vigorous exposition of the reasons which led those of Unitarian faith to disavow the doctrine of everlasting punishment.

TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 22.—Theburglars who robbed the Trenton Bank, had been here three weeks and rented a house two doors from the bank, ostensibly for a fancy trimming store, paying the owner consideration to vacate the premises.

They run wires from the house to the bank, where they attached them to a bell, one remaining in the house to give the alarm to.the others if any one approached the bank. The house was searched this morning and an abundance of provisions, whisky and cards found. Detectives are hard at work. [Special dispatch to tlie Indianapolis Journal.]

ANDERSON, IND,Jan. 20.—TheRepublicans of Madison county held a very large mass meeting here to-day, appointed delegates to attend the State Convention, re organized the County Central Committee, and by a unanimous vote instructed the delegates appointed to vote for Hon. James A. Wildman, of Howard county, for Auditor of State.

THE

B.

New.

Rev. John B. New, late pastor of the Fourth Christian Church, died at his residence, 82 North Illinois street, yesterday morning, in the seventy-ninth year of his age. Some four weeks ago Rev. Mr. New officiated at the baptism of several persons in a stream near a neighboring town. The stream was frozen over, and for the purpose of immersion the ice had to be brokeu. After the ceremony was over, Mr. New walked nearly a mile in his dripping garments, thereby contracting a cold that terminated in his death. The deceased was the father of John C. New, of the First National Buik, and of Dr. G. W. New, botn well known citizens.—Ind. Sentinel.

THREE SENATORS.

Onr Burke, Fox and Sheridan.

TRUMBULL.

Trumbull is by far the chief personage now in the Senate. He is the coolest aud best debator there, always in earnest and yet never at fault, and he now stands in fine rapport with the able men of the Senate who flew off' from his suggestion in the impeachment trial. Mr. Sumner thinks highly of him, and all seem to acknowledge that he is a man not to be put aside, either by passion, interest or ambition, and who will sit jn the seat which he occupies and drive his team towards what he wishes, and even if supreme power lie in the way, will not deviate from his path out of any delicacy at the same time, if supreme power affect his notion of self-respect, he will drive over it. Iu short, Trumbull is a jurist, looking within himself for motives and believing that by a high grace of public character, constituencies may be raised to a level with their statesmen, aud that this is easier and nobler than to reduce one's self to be a demagogue and lead the constituency by unworthy means.

SCHURZ IN DEBATE.

Schurz has no equal in the Senate in direct pointed attack, skilful and graceful vehemence and rare scholarship, which seems to be as perfect iu our history as in that of Germany or France. Nobody dare meet him in debate for all feel that he has reservations of cruel force, which to tempt would not be agreeable. He is, however, a man of cold temperament, respectable rather than hearty, and he always finds his chief admirers to be men of his own class— those who adore faculty, knowledge and chivalry. Schurz despises the Administration. It is honest contempt—that of a scholar for a fortuitous official creation. The processes of Schurz's mind are logical, sequential and endorsed by the highest advices, while the President guesses around, showing the usual luck of a genuine American, who does not seem to require to be wise to be successful.

SUMNER

What a varied career has this man lived Once berated by that old incarnation of affectation, James M. Mason, as not a gentleman, and yet, to-day, one of the idols of the Southern people, whom he resembles very much in pride of character, veneration aud honor! Then see him, struck down in the Senate for some one of those tremendous personalities in which he is never deficient, and yet, to-day, is highly regarded iu South Carolina as Calhoun himself! Again, see him move on General Stone and other folks of the war with a furious ardor of a public defender upon the mere soldier, and yet, on the other hand, observe with what scrupulous devotion he supports every approved iustitutution of the country, the army aud the navy, the diplomatic service and to coast survey, and whatever becomes us. Again, see this man flourishing the party whip during the impeachment trial, telling Mr. Trumbull that he had made his bed and must lie in it," and voting guilty on all the articles and yet, observe him to-day iu hearty affiliation with the independent spirits of the Senate, and perhaps the most terrible opponent of party government that exists in the country. These things, after all, teach us that Mr. Sumner is a fine incarnation of noble selfishness and restive independence that he believes in the United States aud himself, and nothing between. Those of us who understand human nature sufficiently to appreciate this fine character of man will be sorry when the day comes that he withdraws himself from puplic life and moulders in the mighty fabric of the country which he has helped to dignify and elevate.

HAIR VISOR.

AYEirft

A I I O

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 hair. 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 by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands ftrophied 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 ofl 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 if a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.
