TKE juvenile temperance meeting which is to come off at Dowling Hall, on the 15th inst., promises to be a rich entertainment. The admission fee will be 25 cents. About fifty boys and eirls will take part. The proceeds go to the causes of Sabbath Schools and temperance in the city.
MESSRS. HAYWARD & SCOTT have opened an auctinn and commission house at Nos. 30 and 32 S' U'h Fourth street. They solicit consignments, and we can assure any party having goods to dispose of at auction that these gentlemen will get as much money for them as they are worth. Success to the new firm.
IT is pleasant to sit ba^k and watch Indianapolis and Terre Haute contending for the manufacturing spoils of our coal field, in the lull assurance that neither of them can do more than advertise the excellent advantages of this section, and that when capitalists come to investigate the matter they will inevitably be drawn into Clay county as the needle is drawn toward the North Pole. "VVe rest at easp, conscious of our security.—Brazil Miner.
THERE is a certain locality in the business portion of the city, where Thomas Phellines and their tabbies, are wont to congregate and yowl excruciatingly for hours to the great anguish of those persons who reside within a block of their rendezvous. We would recommend a little shot gun, charged with powder and numerous leaden messengers of death, as a remedy for the evil. It is effective.
Miss NILSSON attended a ball at the Gait House in Louisville, and according to the Commercial, "she floated through the rooms in a mist of white moire an~ tique touched with the azure of a blue overskirt, through which gleamed tangles of gold as flecks of sunshine play upon the bosom of some blue lake." "Mist of white moire antique" is good, but a mist of railroad bars would be just as good.
WE unavoidably overheard a young chap a few nights ago, sayingsweet things to his inamorata, and in doing so he rounded off his sentences with a good solid smack. Now we are an ardent supporter of such proceedings, but we must protest against lovers selecting such notoriously public places to carry out such performances, as it shocks our modesty and causes us to blush deeply. Ye Gods, what cheek.
WE have yet to hear of the first leap year victim. There has been several matrimonial alliances consummated since the opening of the new year, but we believe they were all brought about in the old way. We are becoming alarmed about this matter. If our young ladies do not put in their time to better advantage in the future, than they have in the past, we fear we shall have few cases of successful feminine sparkiug to record during the leap year.
The Proposed Boiling Mill.
Editor of Terre Haute Gazette: The conditions upon which Mr. A. L. Crawford and other capitalists propose to ta. Ii4i a rolling mill in this city seem to me exceedingly favorable. The works are to cost $60,000, $35,003 of which will be invested in the enterprise by these gentlemen and the remainiug $25,000 to be loaned to this compauy by the city, they giving as security for the money thus advanced a first mortgage on the works to be constructed, costing as just stated $60,000. They ask this loan of $25,000 for five years, but will pay the city six per cent, interest upon the money alie is asked to advance. The only expense attending this enterprise to the city would be the slight difference between the rate of interest she is to receive and the rate of interest she would probably have to pay in borrowing the money—a difference probably of three or four per cent. At this rate we could secure the establishment in oui city of thirty rolling mills—employing probablyy three thousand men— increasing our population by at least twelve thousand,and adding not less than four millions of dollars to the taxable property of Terre Haute,thereby reducing the rate of taxation—for the same amount ol money as this township recently voted to aid in the building of the Southwestern Railroad. We would have stood in our
own light if we had not secured the railroad referred to, but we will be standiug just as much, yea more, in our own light if we should fail to help every large manufacturing enterprise that cornea to us with so fair a proposition as this Rolliug Mill Company. We think it always sale to aid private enterprises like this, when their requests are moderate, because. although private enterprises, they are public benefits and necessary to our growth and prosperiry.
Very truly yours, MAKLBOROUGH.

"Jim Laue."
Lane had no money to irrupt anybody with. Undoubtedly he promised to "reciprocate" to his electioneers—and what politician does not?—but he bought nobody, and had nothing to buy with. Liine's first election to the Senate has often been said to have been the only election accomplished without money. At any rate, it is sure that the election was unbought. To our knowledge Lane only took twenty-seven dollars to Topeka to pay all his expenses.
The reason he took no more was because he had no more. Some of his »pponents went to the landlord, and advised him to turn Lane out of doors, because he could never pay his bill, and the landlord was disposed to do it. We were present when Lane heard of t-his advice, and we shall never lose sight of the expression of his countenance nor forget his words: "We can go into a store box and beat them." That was an election without money, and it was when there was no Government patronage to bestow. The old settlers all remember that election. Col. John Ritchie was poor then, but when he heard of the proposition to turn Lane out of doors,he put twenty dollars into his "corruption fund" to pay the landlord. There were other men who did vastly more to start "commerce in politics" than Lane. He had a better hold on the people than money. Lane is dead, and had errors, but the money sins don't lie at hia door. But for him Kansas would have been a slave State. He led the hosts of freedom, and his good deeds live after him.
SUPERSTITION of the worst type is still cherished among a portion of our colored population, aud is,by no means confined to those lately released from slavery. A frightful event ^at has just taken place in Arkansas illustrates the power which a belief as old and as childish as that in witchcraft may still exert, aud suggests an argument of some weight in favor of compulsory education. It appears that a negro of Little Rock, named Francis, deliberately shot and killed auother man of the same race named Vaughan, for, as Ahe murderer alleges, bewitching him. Francis says Vaughan was a regular "Obi-man," in full power that he "poisoned" his "hand so that it was always culd that he had "charmed" many persous of both sexes who had the misfortune to offend him and that he had shot him for trying to throw men into spells, and enchantiug various women. "I don't feel sorry for shooting him," added Francis, frankly, "for I didn't want him deviling rouud any longer, aud he ought to have been killed long ago." On this persuasion the man walked quietly up to within five feet of his victim, and blew his brains out with a Colt's revolver.
THE notabilities of Paris are dropping off fast. Recent excitements and privations have doubtless shortened many a life there, and the necrology of the year will be very heavy. Hardly a post arrives which does uot bring news of the death of some Parisian celebrity about whom, whether great author or famous tailor, or distinguished pastry cook, there are hosts of clustering associations. The last to go has been Fornici, the oldest cane-seller in France. He was one hundred and three years old. He was knowu fcs "La Boule d'Or." The man was a cook under Louis XV., messenger at the Minister of Fiuance under Louis XVI., soldier under the Revolution aud under Bonaparte, then a dancer, then beadle in a church, then open-air dentist, and finally dealer in walking-sticks. This last was the only trade he found profitable, and in it he made a handsome fortune. It is said Fornici left a good share of this to the great-great granddaughter of a girl he was iu love with in 1790.
The amount of public lands given by Congress to States and speculators, nominally for railroad purpo-es, is over JOT,000.000acres, being nearly forty times the extent ot the State of New Hampshire.

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.—The Tribune's special from Washington, on the subject of the Geneva difficulty, says General Grant has declared that our position must be maintained, and the sentiment of Congress strongly supports him', but even among the best friends of the Administration, the conviction is gaining ground that the affair has been badly managed. It also states that Washington politicians consider it extremely doubtful whether the arbitartors would award a dollar of consequential damages. Sumner and other prominent individuals pronounce this opinion.
The Times' special from Washington says dispatches were received in that city from banking houses in New York asking if it was true that the Government had resolved to back down, as rumored, from the position presented iu its case. They were all answered in the negative.
No official communication from fche British Government has yet been received. A correspondent adds that the printed dispatches represented as having passed between Secretary Fish and Minister Schenck are bold forgeries.

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.—The members of the Committee of Investigation and Retrenchment, have not yet acted on the dispatches from Washington, authorizing investigation of extortions practiced in connection with the quarantine and health regulations, but will probably begin soon after the completing of the Custom-House matter. The investigation will probably take place in Washington, as the evidence of General Porter and Babcock are to be taken.
A fire broke out last evening in a building in the rear of No. 27, Johnson avenue, owned and occupied by John Wagner & Co., as a moulding mill and scroll turning shop. Loss on stock, $8,000 no insurance. Loss on building, $2,000 partly insured.

The Special Committee to whom was referred the fire limits ordinance, have reported a bill, differing in the boundaries and many other particulars from that previously debated over so long, which will probably call out another long controversy.

The alarm of fire was raised, and great confusion ensued. No lives were lost.
Those most dangerously wounded were left at Hermann. Five or six of the less seriously injured were brought to this city, among whom are Mrs. Gaddis, of Cincinnati and Mr. C. W. Mitchell, of Osage Mission, Kansas.

[Condensed from Associated Press Report.]
CONGRESSIONAL.
SENATE.
After the transaction of miscellaneous business of no general interest, the amnesty bill was taken up.
Mr. Ferry, of Connecticut, spoke in opposition to Mr. Sumner's pending amendment to the supplementary civil rights bill. He thought the provision to guard against a denial of rights by inns or common carriers wat unnecessary, because any citizen can recover in civil suit such cases as the bill proposed also, to control and regulate the public schools. He warned the Senate that the people would not submit to Federal interference with the public schools. But after all, the great objection to the bill was the principle on which it had been justified iu the Senate. That principle was that by the adoption of three most recent constitutional amendments our old system of government has been subverted. Senators might attempt to stop short of this, but their reasoning will necessarily lead to giving the Federal Government complete and unlimited authority to take the place of State governments and enact laws for protection for all rights, privileges and immuuities of citizens which are now protected by State laws. If these three amendments of the Constitution meant all that Mr. Sumner and supporters of this bill argued for them, God help us, for the foundations of civil liberty were stricken away from under us, and our fall was only a question of time.
Mr. Kelly argued against Mr. Sumner's amendment as unnecessary for the protection of the rights which it states as likely to cause great hardships in its application aud as unconstitutional.
Mr. Sumner withdrew his consent given yesterday to the striking out of the seventh section, repealing or annulling all laws discriminating against the. person on the ground of color.
The pending motion to strike out this section was lost—yeas 25, nays 33. Mr. Freeliughuysen moved to strike out all reference to churches.
Mr. Trumbull said he would vote against this and every other amendment to Mr. Sumner's bill, in order to make it as obnoxious as possible, and thereby secure its rejection. He was in favor of amnesty, and against all amendments designed, like this one, to defeat the pending amnesty bill.
Mr. Sumuersaid he could not consent to the amendments proposed by Mr. Freelinghuysen. This supplementary Civil Rights bill was a simply a proposition to apply to all incorporated associations the great principles of our government, and he thought is as necessary that it should apply to church as to—
Mr. Thuriuan said that as he had no hope of the bill being so changed as to enable him to vote for it, he took no interest in perfecting it, and would therefore vote against all amendments.
Mr. Sherman said he should vote for the amendment, with the hope that it would be strengthened by leaving out churches, although he thought it ought to apply to them too.
Mr. Wilson said he would vote for the amendment for the same reason—to strengthen the Civil Rights bill.
Mr. Trumbull reminded Mr. Wilson that he had promised to vote against all amendments to the Amnesty bill.
Mr. Wilson replied that the promise was made before Christmas, when the friends of the Amnesty hoped to get it passed before the holiday recess.
Mr. Hamlin said he would vote for the amendment for the purpose of strengthening parts of Sumner's bills.
Mr. Anthony said the amendment must be made if the bill was to have his vote, because he would never vote to put the
first
law upon the statute books
which would interfere with religion. He would never vote for a law to punish auy church for closing its doors against any person for any reason—good or bad. That was a matter which concerned only members of that church, and with which the law had no right whatever to interfere.
Mr. Carpenter said he would vote for this amendment, and if it prevailed he would move another amendment to strike out the fourth section enforcing the right of colored men to sit as jurors.
Mr. Corbett took the same position as Mr Anthouy. Mr. Morton argued that a general provision prohibiting a discrimination against any one on the ground of color, prohibits the rejection of colored men as jurors, and denounced the laws excluding men from the jury box as the worst kind of class legislation.
Mr. Vickers moved to strike out all relating to schools, and argued that the reason for omitting churches and conventions from this bill applied with equal force to schools.
Mr. Frelinghuysen's amendment was then adopted. Yeas, 39 nays, 23. Mr. Carpenter moved to strike out the fourth section in relation-to jurors. Lost —yeas, 12 nays, 42.
Mr. Cole moved to substitute citizen for person, in the fifth section. Mr. Trumbull denounced this as an attempt to discriminate against foreigners residing here, including those who intended to become citizens. He supposed the object of Mr. Cole in offering the amendment was to exclude Chinamen from the provision* of the bill but as we had provided that Hotentots and Pagans might become citizens, there was no
good reason for excluding the peaceful and intelligent Asiatic. Mr. Trumbull also charged that the opponents of amnesty were voting for these amendments for the purpose of defeating the Amnesty bill.
Mr. Morton said he had supposed there was great anxiety on the part of the friends of amnesty to pass the pending bill, but he now saw he had been mistaken, therefore he moved to adjourn.
The motion was carried, and the Senate adjourned. 9
A Frontier Horror.
A terrible result of the passion for drink is given by the LaCrosse (Wis.) Republican, which must fill the reader with horror and pity—horror at the dreadful fate of the poor uufortunate victims, and pity for the stings of remorse which must goad the father aud husband
A few years ago a man was living with his young wife in Mankato, Minnesota. He was intelligent and successful in business, until the passion for drink enslaved him, and his business and reputa tion were bo»h wrecked by its satanic influence. He was forced to seek a new home for his little family, and his wife, bred to luxury, accompanied him to the frontier, in the hope that the removal from temptation would free him from the grip of the habit which use 1 I in. Here they lived for several years, his abstinence from drink being broken only by au infrequent aud occasional debauch when he visited some of the nearest
towns.
Early in December he told his wife that business compelled him to go to and that he would be absent several days. She, about to become a mother again, with three helpless children, aud a scanty supply of wood, fearing that the insatiate clamor of appetite was the motive which drew him away, entreated him to stay, but in vaiu. He left. Soon after one of those severe storms in "December—doubly severe on the unsheltered prairie—came on. Before its close she was entirely destitute of wood, and the terrible alternative was presented to her of passively freeziug to death with her little ones or seeking assistance from the nearest neighbor, over three miles distant. She courageously chose the latter, and leaving her three shivering little ones with nothing but a mother's yearning love and prayerful blessing, she started out to seek relief. The next day she was found, half buried in the snow, dead, a new born infant at her side. The three children were found dead in the house. This, while the once fond husband and protecting father was away reveling in the delirium or dozing in the stupor of drink. No words can add to the horror of Xhis tale, but beside the unspeakable agony of that dying wife and mother, how •trivial our common losses, griefs and sorrows seem
From a St. Joseph paper, Feb. 3.
The Blushing Bridegroom. There was a nice little party Wednesday night at the residence of one of the most respectable families iu South St. Joseph, and while the festivities were progressing, two charming young ladies, sisters, took a pair of young men by the arm, remarking that as it was leap year, they proposed to insist on their prerogatives, and desired to at once be married. A 'Squire was called for and one was shortly found in the compauy, in the person of our worthy conservator of the peace, Gus. Saltzman. When this official presented himself ready for the delicate business, oue of the couples forthwith "baoked out," but the other stood their ground, and the 'Squire proceeded with the ceremony, asking the high contracting parties several times during its progress if they were really in earnest, to which question they gave each time an affirmative reply. They were thereupon pronounced man and wife. After the party commenced to break up to go home, the impromptu groom claimed his bride in all earnestness, and insisted on taking her home with him, but she demurred and tried to treat the whole matter as a joke, but as the young lady is of full age, and the marriage appeared to be
bona fide
to all the witnesses, they do say that this young lady is legally and irrevocably the young man's wife, and the best of it is that the parents on both sides are willing to the match. The young man belongs to not only a good, but a wealthy family, and the young lady's people, though not so well off in a pecuniary poiut of view, are comfortably so however, and are of the highest respectability. How the affair will "pan out" remains to be seen.
THE Trentou State Gazette speaks untruly of the Tribune's "demand" that the offices shall be fairly apportioned among the different sections or "wings" of the Republican party. We have made no such "demand," aud have nothing to suggest in that direction. There was a time when they were thus apportioned by the President, and that adjustment should not have been disturbed. To return to it at this crisis would be humiliating and useless. It is too late. We only insist that the next Republican Administration shall be seasonably warned to avoid the errors of this one. So long as we have party Presidents, let them he Presidents of the whole party, not merely of apart of it.—JV. Y. Tribune.
