Additional Local News.
THE "local" of the Terre Haute Journal Bays: "Join church if you want to be happy!" And yet he's not happy.—Ind. Sentinel.
Has he practically followed his own advice is the question.
THE year 1871 has been noted in the history of the Indianapolis fc St. Louis Railroad as one lor building depots. Thoy have erected new pnssentrer depots at Blinker Hill, Irving, Nokornis and Litchfield, and have one nearly completed at Terre Haute. They have also erected a two story brick freight depot at East St. Louis. Let us hope that Paris will soon be favored with a new passenger and freight depot.—Paris Blade.
THE Terre Haute Oazelte wants the Opera House to be represented by a cut on the new map of that city. The citizens no doubt would be glad to have something represented* in the Opera House.—Ind. Sentinel.
The cititzens are not languishing in that respect. Booth, Jefferson and Janauschek will represent tragedy and comedy of the highest order in thereat no distant day.
"SHYLOCK" takes amazingly with Indianapolis and Terre Haute people, judging from the repeated notices of it in the papers of those cities— Evansville Courier.
The "Pocket" folks need not be jealous because they were not favored. There was nothing about the entertainment, from what we can learn, that should beget envy on the part of those wtio were not present. We were not present, yet we are very sure that we are not envious of those who were.
THE BUCKEYE CASH STORE" commences the New Year in a manner that indicates business, and which will insure for it a degree of success never attained before, though its success has been very marked—and remarked by all who are familiar with its past history. We take pleasure in commending the genial proprietor, w. s. Ryce, Esq., the handsome and pleasant manager, Scheullernian, and their large, gentlemanly and attentive corps of assistants, to the patronage of our many readers in this city and country around about. We know each and every one of them to be pleasant and accommodating, with whom it is a pleasure to spend money—especially when the articles must be purchased and flrst'Class material is wanted. A full Stock of everything kept in a lirst-class establishment can, by any body and at ftny titpe, be secured at this magnificent Palace of Dry Goods, for particulars of which see our advertising columns. Last evening, after having made a complete inventory of the mampaoth stock on hand ia 24 hours, the many employes were treated to a sumptuous banquet at thp Terre Haute Dining Rooms by their liberal employer, Mr. W. S. Ryce. A most enjoyable time was had by alj and many toasts were proposed to the genial proprietor of the Buckeye Cash Store.
The Locomotive Engineers' Reception. Dowliug Hall, with all of its liberal patrouage and artistic beauty, has seldom been honored with so magnificent a reception as was that of the Locomotive Engineers of Brotherhood No. 2o, of this city, last evening. Everything that poult] tend to enhance the success of the entertainment was done jn the most skillful ptiafiner. The music was furnished by Toute's full quadrille band and was of rare excellence. Scudder prepared the banquet and as he does all things well, he did this magnificently, more than sustaining his great and well-earned reputation as a caterer of high order. The attendance to enjoy all these good things was very large, at least two huudred couples, most of wUofP participated in the tripping of the light fantastic, as thp old phase hath it. The members of the reception committee vied with each other in attending to the comfort of the guests and making them each and every one feel at home. Delegations yere there from Indianapolis, EvansVflje, Afattoon and other cities. Among the nupiber, we observed several prominent railroad Presidents and other officials in high places.^ Many noble ladies were there, arrayed in magnificent ball-room cos» tumes. Uuder the Leap Year regulations they cared for the gentlemen present with the most courteous feminine kindness and attention, when" ever necessary, applying the Westenhouse and Peddle patent brakes to their impetuous movements while iu the set, in the most successful mauuer, never failing to bring them "to time" in each instance. May these genial and noble hearted Locomotive Engineers of Lodge 25, be successful in their future annual receptions, as they were on the occasion of their 4lh, and all will be well in enjoyments, in finances, and all things going to make a success of their annual receptions.

THE STREET RAILROAD.—Car No. 2, of the Terre Haute Street Railroad, came from the Vandalia shops of this city this morning presenting a magnificent and gorgeous appearance, having been thoroughly repaired in the substantial manner and painted in the handsome and artistic style peculiar to the shops where operated upon. Sometime since, car No. 1 of this line was repaired and painted in like manner, at thesame place. To-mor-row morning No. 3 will be left at the Vandalia shops to be treated likewise. Supt. Palmater and his corps of able assistants are justly elated at the flue appearance of the ears and the stock holders are doubtless highly pleased with theiri, the excellent condition which the track is constantly kept, and the efficient manner in which their interests atid the interest of the traveling public arelooked after. This line is justly popular and an honor to the city, as we trust it is a source of revenue to all concerned.
That Female College.
Editor of the Terre Haute Gazette Many of your readers of the GAZETTE, I have no doubt, were subscribers (to their sorrow) for building the Female College in the south part of the town. The provisions, made at that time by Covert,for the purpose of influencing parties to subscribe,have never been fulfilled, nor never will be. Question: Is there no way by which these sufferers can make themselves whole out of the property I ask this question, hoping that jt will meet the eye of some one who has been swjndjeij t}v thia concern, that rather a meeting will be called of these creditors,or thatsomeone will be induced to inquire into the matter whether there is any remedy for these poor swindled men.

How Circus Performers are Paid in England. Circus performers in England begin their training very e^rly, bejug usually apprenticed to the work at abo^t the agp of seven or eight. Mr. John Sanger has a tiny mannikin of a son now riding at Astley's, in an act called the Morning Star," who is not yet a year and eight months old. The little chap rode before he could walk. The artists" of the circus find their professions remarkably healthy, and they are along lived race. Joe Wallet, the famous circus clown iu London, is considerably over seventy and is as lively and active as he was forty years ago. Old Orde, whose outdoor ring is still visible on many a village green, and who was the instructor of Batty (says the Loudon Daily News), lived to aconsidei ableover ninety, and a short time before his death he was jumping over a tobacco pipe and an open razor on his "bare-back steed." Batty was past sixty. Franks, who is now tumbling somersaults and posturing at Hengler's, is considerably over sixty, and as fresh as a daisy, as any one may see by visiting the circus in Argyle street. "Hote riding" is by no means on qnrejpvjnerative profession. "jGfeneral utility" lijen get from ^5 to ^IQ a week eleven picn, vyithotit any claipi to rank as stars, run up to near JJ2Q and a star of magnitude oorqes down on the treasury to the tune of £0. Robinson the American star, had a full half of Cooke's gross receipts at Vauxhall, averaging over £00 a week.
THE New York Evening Mull, iu its "Society Small Talk" says Ladies are wearing imported overskirts of white tulle, almost qs ricliloqkiug as lace, and not half as expensive. The dears manage to make things even by getting two or three of them.
Medium length trails are the rule this season for full dress. Sixty inches is the average length, and wedding dresses are seldom over two yards long. The rule as to the length of the groom's coat is awaited with breathless expectation.
At a latp party the fashionable color for ladies' complexion is'a sort of pale pistache l'or gentlemen the prevailing lint is that known raris en feu'. Perfectexhaustion of the sj'stem is the cause of the former perfect pxhaqstion of the champagne bottles, qf the latter hue.
Young girls are evidently beiiton encouraging the youth of the period to get married on fortunes something less than Aster's. One of our wealthiest belles was married a short lime ago, iu a dress of white tulle without an ineh pf lace. But won't her husband hear of that dress about once a week until death does them part?
THE story comes from France that a beautiful but strong-minded lady living in Boulogne sent a challenge to the publisher of a humoroui journal, who had "twice concerned himself with her private affairs." A formal acceptance of the duel as returned, the choice of arms was waived, but

[Condensed from Associate I Press Report.]
CONGRESSIONAL.
SENATE.
After the transaction of considerable business pertaining to individuals and matters of no general interest, the amnesty bill was called up.
Mr. Carpenter said he was not one of those who were hungering and thirsting after the passage of this bill, but his political associates favored it, and he supposed it would pass in some form. He hoped, however, that the Senate would insist that those who desired amnesty should take the supplementary civil rights bill with it. So far from there being any incompatibility between the two measures, he thought it eminently fit that they should go together. The passage of the civil rights bill would strive to reconcile the people of the North to the passage of amnesty, and if the friends of the amnesty bill were acting in good faith they would not refuse amnesty because it was coupled with this measure of justice. If they did he would then wait for amnesty until they changed their minds. Everybody knew that this amnesty bill was really a bill to reinforce the Democratic party, and before passsing it, it would be well to know ivhat was the intention of that party in dealing with the colored men of the South. The Senator from Missouri (Schurz) had delivered a very ingenious and able speech in support of the theory that the only proper way to deal with the rebels was to forgive them fully and quickly. As usual, that Senator had constructed his theory without reference to facts, and seemed to have adopted the idea that if others conflicted with his theory, so much the worse for them. [Laughter.] He (Carpenter) had seen no evidence of the soundness of the Senator's theory. In this case the Government had been extremely merciful and generous in dealing with the rebels, but that policy hud not produced the happy effects attributed to it by Mr. Schurz. The rebels as a class had given no evidence of repentance or royalty, and he believed, that within twelve months from the passage of a bill relieving Jefferson Davis of his disabilities, he (Davis) would be elected to the Senate. He knew that the intelligent politicians of tke South intended to behave reasonably well until the passage of the amnesty bill, and he had no doubt they regretted the Ku-Klux outrages as obstacles in the way of such a bill, but whenever it should pass and put Jefferson Davison the same footing with Geuerals Grant and Sherman, he expected no more, -consideration at the South for the sentiments of the Northern Yankees. He regretted the turn which the debate had taken yesterday, and scouted the idea that if civil rights were rejected the colored voters would abandon the Republican party. He would vote for the bill himself, but he wished to have it amended, and at the proper time would offer a resolution leaving out the provision applicable to churches. He thought it doubtful whether Congress had power to enact that provision, but he was very certain that even if the power existed it would be very unwise and injurious to the colored men themselves to exercise and it in this way.
Mr. Thurman asked Mr. Carpenter whether his suUstitute retained the provision relating to schools.
Mr. Carpenter—Yes, sir. Mr. Thurman—I remember listening to an argument by the Senator a year or two ago, in which hecombatted ttie idea that the Federal Government had any right to interfere witii schools, aud would like to know on what principles he now claims for the Federal Government the right to interfere with the education in the States.
Mr. Carpenter—The question is easily answered. What I doubted then was whether Congress had the power to enter upon a Government scheme of education iu the South, and appropriate money to support schools, but while reflection has led me to doubt still more, I have no doubt of the power of this Government, under the constitutional amendment-*, to say that the colored man shall have his rights in the common schools, and on that subject I hope the Republican party will never back one inch. The distinction seems to me perfectly clear between voluntary institutions, whether incorporate^ or not, which ought not to he interfered with, and those institutions whjph are founded and maintained for the general good, and at the public expense.
Mr. Thurman—The question is not whether the colored people shall have the benefit of the public schools. The question is whether the power of their regulation is taken away fron} the
States,
so that while you (lo give the colored people tl}e benefit of the common schools, you shall be compelled to give it in-a particular way.
Mr. Carpenter—I ask "whether under the Constitution we cannot provide that no State shall exclude the colored man from, for instance, the right to bring suit or produce a wituess, aud does th$t take away from the Stalp th^ right to regulate thpir cotytsv- No at all, but it does say to them, "In this particular, discriminate."
Mr. Davis, of Kentucky, said that Sumner's amendment was* to be pqt ou the amnesty bill for the purpose of defeating it. Those who insisted on the amendment knew well that the Southern people would rather do wjthoqt amnesty than accept it saddled with such a provision, and for one he would say that human iugenuity could not devise a proposition of the character of the civil rights bill that he would accept. He then discussed at great length the hiatory of the doctrine of secessions, and the un. constitutional acts of the Republican

Egyptian Maxims.
Rev. Dr. J. H. Thompson, in his "Notes on Egyptology" in the Bibliotheca Sacra, gives the following maxims from the ancient Egyptians "Do not take on airs. "Do not maltreat an inferior respect the aged. "Do not save thy life at the expense of! another's. "Do not pervert the heart of thy comrade if it is pure. "Do not make sport of those who are dependent upon thee. "Do not maltreat a woman, whose strength is less than your own. Let her find in thee a protector. "Iffrom an humble condition thou hast become powerful, and the first in the city, for opulence, let not riches make tiiee proud, for the first author of these good things is God. "If thou art intelligent, bring up thy son in the love of God. If he is courageous, active, and increases thy property, give him the best recompense. But if thy sou whom thou hast begotten is a fool, do not turn away thy heart from him, for he is thy son."
Torn to Pieces by Lions.
The Bolton correspondent of the London daily Echo telegraphs uuder date of January 3: "Last night Massarti, the lion-tamer at Mander's Menagerie, now exhibiting in this town, was torn to pieces by the lions with which he was performing. He struck one of the lions on the nose, which immediately seized him by ttie scalp, and tore it almost off. The other lions then sprang upon him, and tore off the flesh completely from the lower part of his back and thighs, and inflicted serious injuries upon his chest, breaking, also, his right and only arm. The excitement in the show was so intense that the slides dividing the cage could not be got in. One of the lions then dragged their victim from the separate compartment back to the infuriated group, which again set upon him. The mangled body of the lion-tamer was then recovered and taken to the Infirmary, where, however, he died in ten minutes."
A Warning to Excitable Men. The Zanesvilie Courier says On last Saturday morning, a gentleman in this city was awakened about five, or halfpast five o'clock by a sound, as he thought, of someone forcing open a shutter of a down stairs window. Soon after he heard, as he imagined, the window raise, and then a noise as of some one moving about down stairs. He jumped out of bed, seized his trusty revolver, and rushed down stairs to shoot a burglar. Through the house he went without discovering the night marauder, and at length hearing a noise in the kitchen, he threw open the door leading thereto aud rushed in, where, sure enough, in the darkness, he perceived a figure crouching down in toe room. lie rushed up and presented the pistol at the head of the supposed burglar, when tlie voice of the hired girl begged him "for God's sake not to shoot her, as she was only kindling the fire in the stove to get breakfast." He retired.
THE terrible maelstrom oft' the coast of Norway has unaccountably disappeared. A late traveler says there is no such a whirlpool, and that it is only when the tide, current and wind are at loggerheads in the narrow strait between Moskeuaessor and the lofty isolated peak of Mosken that any agitation is visible at all. He is, therefore of the., opinion that some such phenomenon as tins, seen from the shore and exaggerated by the horror of the beholder, gave rise to all the maryelous legends of the maelstorm. It is sad to part with an old friend, but really there is no help for it. Science is said to be inexorable, aud that magnificent old myth of the sea, that has been swallowing ships in the schoql geography for generations, mqst onrne out of that truthful textbook as Scylla and Shary'odis, and a good many other myths, have 4one before.
PEW people really realises how many acres are unoccupied in the great West. There are eleven Territories, two or three of which are twice or three times as large as all New England and it is a small Territory that is not at least tea times as large as Massachusetts. Colorado is thirteen times as large Massachusetts, while Dakota and Arizona are half as large again as Colorado. The eleveu Territories contain over one billion and a quarter acres, exceeding by nearly two huudred thousand square miles the aggregate Territory of all the tlie present admitted States of the Union. The territory of Alaska contains 359,539,600.—Springfield Register.
THE ARTFUL CREATURES.—The latest wrinkle In ladies' fashions is to have an artist draw an imitation wrinkle in each corner of'the mouth, where the mirthful lines appear when smiling.

Now, while on the promenade, orin the home oircle, by a slight touch of India ink, a woman may possess au exterior as smiling an bright as jthat she wore on her wedding day, though at heart she is as crusty and sour as a hotel clerk who has all tlie jewelry he ctvn and nothing left to live for,

Homestead and Pre-emption.
Istatement,plainlyaprinted
HAVE compiled full, concise and complete for the inform atior of persons, intending to take up a Homestead or Pre-Emption in this poetry of the West, embracing Iowa, Dakota, and Nebraska and of her seotiopp. Jt. explains how to proceed to secure 1®) acres of Rich Farming .Land for Nothirg. six months before you leave your home, in tne most healthful climate. In short it contains
just
suoh instructions as are needed by those intending to make a Home and Fortune in the Free Lands of the West. I will send one of these printed Guides to any person for 25 cents. The information alone, which, it gives is worth 55 to anybody. Men who came here two and three years ago, and took a farm, are to-day independent.
To ¥QUN« MEN.
This oountry is being erossed with numerou Railroads from every direction to Siour Oily Iowa. Six Railroads will be made totals city within one year. One is already in operation conneoting us with Chicago aud the U. P. 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.
Minn., Yankton, Dakota, and Columbus. Nebraska, on the U. P. Railroad. The Missouri River givesus the Mountain Trade. Tims it will be seen that no section of country offers such unprecedented advantages for business, specu
lation
and making a fortune, for the country is being populated, and towns and cities are being built, and fortunes made almost beyond belief. Every man who takes a homestead now will have a railroad market at his own door, And any enterprising young man with a small capital can establish himself in a permanent paying business, if he selects the right location ana right branch of trade. Eighteen years residence in the western country, and a large portion of the lime employed a* a Mercantile Agent in this country, has made me- familiar with all the branches af business and the best locations in thia country. For one dollar remitted to me I will give truthful and definite answers to all questions on this subject desired by such persons. Tell them the best place to locate, and what business is overcrowded and what branch is neglected. Address,

HAIR VISOR.
-^AYEIS'S
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 ana freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cureti 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. lis occasional use will prevent the hair from falling of! 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 UBESSING,
nothing else cau 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 aud a grateful perfume.
