He expresses himself as confident that at the next meeting of the Directors of the road, which will be held soon, a.itisfactory arrangements will be made by which the road will be built without further delay.

It is about time that something was being done for the encouragement of the people along this line, as their full measure of patience must be well nigh exhausted.

—Adv. in New York Tribune. The above we find in that most widely circulated and generally read of all American journals, and we doubt if there is a paper published in the world that has so many readers as the New York Tribune. It appears in one of the most prominent advertising columns, is double-leaded and displayed in large type. That it will be seen, read, and will startle thousands of capitalists who have distended their eyes upon reading the numerous letters of correspondence from this city to the Iribune on the coal fields and steel manufacturing facilities of this portion of our rich mineral State, by the eminent geologist, Dr. J. W. Foster, no one who knows anything about newspaper advertising can for a moment doubt. Such an advertisement will attract capital to this section of the country, to a degree unthought of

and

never dreamed, by

but very few. The land to be thus donated we (learn from the officers of the road) for the establishment of iron works, will be in the town of 'Bessemer, a town laid out on the line of the C. & T. H. R. R., situated about 16 or 17 miles from this city.

The coal land, to be donated to parties complying with the above conditions, will be along the line of the road, which the company may hold in fee simple.

This shows that the officers ofthiscom. pany mean business and can be taken, in connection, with many other favorable indications, that the C. & T. H. R. is a surety. General Pleasanton is now in Europe negotiating the sale of the bonds of the company, having beein preceded by the reliable letters of Dr. Foster, in the New York Tribune, editorially indorsed. This sterling American journal has a large circulation acrossthe waters, and we have no doubt but that General Pleasanton will be able to sell the bonds of this company without difficulty. He is an able financial gentleman and will represent the interest of this worthy enterprise as well as any man can.

DESPEKATE ROW.—A passenger on the morning train from Terre Haute informs us that a desperate row occurred between the miners and a number of other roughs at Seeleyviile, a few miles this side of Terre Haute, this morning, in which two or three of the participants received serious injuries. Mr. Seeley received a blow from a heavy missile, and it was feared that the result might be fatal, as the skull appeared to be fractured. Further advices will be awaited with interest.—Ind. Eve.

Journal. The difficulty was not between' Mr.

named Duval, whom we understand kept a kind of a grocery establishment in the little village of Seeleyviile. Mr. Seeley was requested by parties in Indianapolis,

to whom the brothers owed money, to at-

tach their goods to secure payment. This Mr. S. declined doing, because they had nothing to secure. The brothers, however, were attached, and accused Mr. S. of being instrumental in the matter of their detention or attachment. Mr. S.

has been successful under the most adverse circumstances, and we feel that the Tribune will be a success, though there are two other very excellent publications ahead of it, so far as age is concerned. The appearance of this new accession to daily journals is very neat and evidently prosperous. Its salutatory has,the ring of the true metal, and we wish it an abundant measure of success. It will be Rean in it

to-day, having been

crowded out yesterday. .•

MB. JARRETT, Nilsson's manager, informed us yesterday, that she would return to Europe by the 1st of May. This settles it.—IndianapolisNews.

If the News intends the above item as a gentle reminder to the citizens of Terre Haute that the divine and demoniacal intend slighting them, why don't it say so, aud give us an opportunity of asserting that this arrangement of Strakosch is entirely satisfactory io our people. As it does not say so, we take the intimation as meaning as much, and take rare pleasure in stating that there is but little disappointment on the part of Terre Haute people that we are left unsung to by the Italian Opera Troupe. We had much rather be left entirely off the list of favored cities than be treated as Indianapolis, where the company left out some of the most interesting scenes in the second Opera, while Nilsson did not appear at all, but previously left for Louisville, where she could get a first-class hotel wherein to rest and nourish her divine self. Even in Lucia, parts were left out.

We are glad they did not come....

A QUESTION OF VERACITY SETTLED.—

Our old friend Seeley, the patriarchal paternal progenitor of Seeleyviile, this county, had a lively skirmish, yesterday morning, with three muscular brothers of that place, named Duvall, all about a question of veracity. Though Mr. Seeley is quite old he succeeded in erecting a brillantly illuminated light house over the left optic of one of the belligerent trio, and was deliberately proceeding to place the other in mourning with his trusty and true right handful of bones when the other two interfered, bringing pokers to their aid. They then used the old gentleman shamefully, wounding him quite severely about the head, neck and shoulders. Mr. Seeley insists that had they not resorted to clubs, as do cowards, that he could have utterly routed all three of them. Young Seeley was iu the city last afternoon laying in a full stock of arnica and lint. Meanwhile, the beautiful Seeley country residence has been converted into a hospital.

THE Vandalia will eclipse itself in honors to the Grand Duke. Major Simpson has ordered ten thousand pearl-handled perfumed timecards, regardless of expanse, and Hrobard is fitting up a comrnisearj' car fit for forty Princes. The Vandalia will not be behind the best of them in entertaining Aleck.—Ind. Journal.

The Vandalia never does anything by halves, whatever they undertake.

THE

three

Vandalia train East to-day, was

hours late, caused by an accident about two miles east of St. Louis, where a switch engine belonging to the O. & M. R. R. ran into the Vandalia train. No one hurt, and not much damage done.

WHAT has become of that spicy "Amusement Record 2"—Journal.

It has "gone where the woodbine twineth."

(From the Boliver (Mo.) Free Press. Can Money Orders be Garuisheed 1 A legal case, somewhat novel in its character, occurred here on Saturday last. Bushnell had received notification the evening previous to pay the sum of $150 to a citizen residing in the county on presentation by him of money orders to that amount. An attorney of an inquiring turn of mind happened to see the money order registry lying open on the Postmaster's desk, and furthermore happened to observe that the individual in whose favor the money order was drawn was indebted to a client of his. Sagacious attorney immediately bethought himself how he might turn this informa* tion to account. Accordingly next morning he had a notice of garnishment served on the Postmaster, enjoining him from paying the aforesaid $150 to the person for whom it was intended. The Deputy Sheriff had scarcely finished reading thft notice to the Postmaster, when the person to whose order the money had been sent, appeared on the scene, presented his orders, asked for his money. The Postmaster was obliged to confess that it was out of his power to comply, and recited the circumstances under which it was withheld. The disappointed payee sought legal advice. Attorney number two, after hearing the case, ransacked the Postoffice Department regulations touching money orders, and thought he discovered sufficientgrounds for demanding that the money be paid to his client. The Postmaster, however, thought best to await instructions from Washington on the subject before forking over. As the matter now stauds, the money is tied up in the hands of the Postmaster until the next meeting of the Circuit Court in April, unless the Postoffice Department dissolves the injunction sooner.

I Advantages of Crying. Some of the greatest modern physicians, chiefly English and French, have written treatises on the advantages of groaning and crying, in general, and especially during surgical operations. They contend that groaning and crying are two grand operations by which nature allays anguish that those patients who give way to their natural feelings, more speedily recover from accidents and operations than those who suppose it unworthy a man to betray such symptoms of cowardice as either to groan or cry, One tells of a man who reduced his pulse from one hundred 'and twentysix to sixty, in the course of a few hours, by giving full vent to his emotions. If people are at all unhappy about anything, let them go into their rooms and comfort themselves with aloud boo-hoo, and they will feel a hundred percent, better afterward. In accordance with the above, crying of children should not be too greatly discouraged. If it is systematically repressed, the result^ may be St. Vitus's dance, epileptic fits, or some other disease of the nervous' system. What is natural is nearly always useful, and nothing can be more natural than the crying of children when: anything occurs to give them either physical or mental pain.-.r.

A Mother's Work.

Many a discouraged mother folds her tired hands at night, and feels as if she had, after all, done nothing, although she has not spent an idle moment since she rose. Is it nothing that your little helpless children have had some one to come to with all their childish griefs and joys? Is it nothing that your husband feels "safe" when Be is away to his business, because your careful hand directs every thing at home? Is it nothing, when his business is over, that he has the blessed refuge of home which you have that day done your best to brighten and refine O, weary and faithful mother! you little know your power when you say I have dene nothing." There is a book in which a fairer record than this is written over qgaiust your name.-

BENDINO A TKEE.—Some

gentleman in one of our Southern States bad a wild, reckless son. He had long passed the age when, the rod is deemed necessary to insure obedience but one day, after some great offence, the father resolved to whip him. The youth submitted, but after receiving the chistisement, quietly turned to the parent, and, poiuting to a small tree near the door, said, "Father, I wish you would bend that tree for me.'J Surprised, the father answered. "Why, what do you mean?" "Can you do it?" No} of course not." "You

could

have done it once—and so it

is with me there has been a time when

you

could have bent me to your will it is too late now."

NEW YORK,

25.—The

police

of the city are grateful for the pecuniary assistance rendered by the late Colonel James Fisk, Jr., when there were no funds in the City Treasury to pay them. They are agitating a movement to erect to his memory a monument or at least a handsomely engrossed tablet of resolutions. The movement is in the hands of prominent officials, and doubtless will be brought to a successful result.

The night session of the Senate Custom House Investigation Committee commenced last night. Hon. Thomas Murphy, General Palmer, Colonels Leet and Leichere were present. James Thompson, United States Weigher, was examined, and testified chiefly as to the duties of weighers. He never made payments to Harbor Masters as inducements to send cargoes to his piers. Never made any assessment for political purposes, merely told men to contribute something toward assistance of the Republican party. Never stated he could make any amount of money by allowance as alleged.

Men who had been to Cleveland to try to throw the company into bankruptcy without success reported that, the present assets of the company wero about §200,000. The losses by the Chicago fire was $1,000,000, which they did not propose to pay at all. It was stated that the stockholders had said they would not pay a cent. It is thought by the Ohio law that the companies were liable for double the amount of their stock. A committee was appointed to make arrangements to prosecute.

[Condensed from Associates Press Report.] CONGRESSIONAL.

SENATE.

Miscellaneous business transacted. Mr. Morton called up the resolution for adjournment on the third Monday in May.

Messrs. Corbett and Cole favored an early adjournment. Mr. Freelingnuysen leported a bill appropriating one hundred thousand dollars for civil service reform.

Mr. Morton, by cousent, modified his resolution so as to fix the 29th day of May for adjournment.

There were two amendments pending, Mr. Sumner's providing that Congress shall not adjourn until it shall have passed the supplementary civil rights bill, and that of Mr. Schurz, providing that it shall not adjourn until after the revision of the tariff aud internal revenue laws and the reform of the civil service bill.

rms--

Mr. Sherman opposed the resolution. He thought it an extraordinary resolution, as it had origidated in the Senate. Heretofore such resolutions had come from the House. There was no occasion for the resolution, as a majority could adjourn at any time.

Mr. Thurman approved of the resolution. If it passed the people would come to the conclusion that there was to be nothing done in the way of reform. He also protested against the practice of postponing appropriation bills to the close of the session.

The amnesty bill was then called up, and was laid aside on motion of Mr. Logan.

Mr. Frelinglmysen introduced a bill making an appropriation to carry out .-uch civil service reform rules as have been adopted by the President. Referred.

On motion of Mr. Conkling the President was requested to send to the Senate a statement of the amount of money received and disbursed by the Government since March, 1869 the amount of embezzlements amount remaining charged to internal revenue officers number of defaulters number prosecuted statement as to criminals prosecuted under the internal revenue laws number of officers receiving pay from the Government who have been dispensed with since March, 1860, and the saving thereby also some information with reference to the last administration.

HOUSE.

Miscellaneous business of no general interest transacted. Mr. Butler, of Masrachusetts, presented a petition of thirty-five thousand women of America, for a declaratory law to secure the right of suffrage. He assured the House that to his judgment and as surely as the sun rolled on its course, the right asked for by this petition would be acceded to the women citizens of the United Stales. He asked that the petition which he partly unrolled to the great amusement of the members) might be referred to the Judiciary Committee, which was done.

After several bills had been presented and discussed at some length, the House went into a Committee of the Whole upon the general civil service appropriation bill.

Soon afterwards adjourned. •-1 &,

This country is being crossed with numerou Railroads from every direction to Sioux City Iowa. Six Railroads will be made to tnis city within one year. One

is already In operation

connecting us with Chicago and the U. PI Railroad and two more will be completed before spring, connecting us with Dubuque and McGregor, direct. Three more will be completed within a year, connecting us direct with St. Paul, Minn., Yankton,Dakota, and Columbus. Nebraska, on the U. P. Railroad. The Missouri River gives us the Mountain Trade.

HAIR VIS03.

A I E I O

For the Renovation of the Hair! I'lie Great Desideratum of the Age! A dressing which is at once agreeable, health^, and effectual fqr preserving the hair. FadM oi' 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 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 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 liair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.,
