RELIGIOUS.—Rev. Mr. Howe will preach a sermon, to-morrow evening, on the subject of "Christian integrity and its relation to business. Is it a help or a hindrance."
Sunday service in the Universalist Church to-morrow. Subject in the irning, "Our Thorns." Subject in the evening, "If Universalism be true what is the use of preaching it."
WHILE a few of our citizens see only t'ie bugbear of a slight increase in taxation, as the result of the recent appropriations by our city to secure the construction of two important lines of railroad to this city, other cities around us see farther ahead and realize that Terre Haute is placing herself in a position to justly claim that she is the best point for the establishment of manufactories to be found iu the entire State.
TEN minutes of weak repining will plunge a brave heart into the depths of unhappiuess, as suddenly as a thunder storm will overcast a clear summer sky. The only way to live is to cast away troubles and contentions which cannot be cured by fretting. A thing that is done belongs to the past. In justice to the requirements of the present, and possibilities of the future, you cannot look back and make yourself wretched over things which cannot be undone.
IT IS pretty well understood that the chances for Terre Haute getting any more blast furuaces are very slim until she gets a rolling mill in which to use uo the products of these furnaces. These two industries go hand in hand, and can hardly be profitably separated. Given a blast furnace a rolling mill becomes a necessity. Oue blast furnace and one rolling mill in profitable operation in Terre Haute means another, and another, until our prairie is dotted all over with them. Success to the rolling mill project.
MRS. MAKYA. LIVEKMOKE will lecture at the Opera House next Thursday evening. Her lecture will be upon thegeueral subject of Woman's Rights, entitled, "What shall we do with our Daughters.'' This last is said to be the greatest effort of this distinguished lady. Mrs. Livermore is the most popular lecturer, male or female, now iu America, and is receiving more applications, and will fill a greater number of appointments this year,than other any lecturer in theUnited States. She is everywhere, by press and public, pronounced the most eloquent woman ever before the people. We hope her appearance next Thursday at the Opera House may attract the largest audience that has ever welcomed a lecturer in this city.
NEWSPAPERS.—A Washington dispatch says that Postmaster General Creswell has directed the new regulations on newspapers sent by mail to be strictly enforced. No name or memorandum can be made on a newspaper inside of the wrapper on which the address is written. It is barely permissible to mark an article with pen or pencil. More than this subjects the paper to letter postage, and the violator of the law to a fine. NG printed card, haud-bill or advertisement of writtea notices, letter or slip, of any kind whatsoever, must be folded in the paper. To do any of these things is to violate the law. Printed slips pasted on the outside, or folded in papers or periodicals, soliciting notices are also violations of the law. Senders of transient papers can send bundles of priuted matter by weight or trausient postage charges, but must not seud any written matter in such buudles.
Editor of Terre Haute Gazette: Your local yesterday, on the need of this city of more business men who will, by liberal and judicious advertising, help to exteud the limits of our trade, suggests this thought to me: The press of this city—and especially the GAZETTE—are giving much labor and space to the writing up of the rare natural advantages of Terre Haute as a point for the location of machine shops, rolling mills, blast furnaces, and manufactories of agricultural implements, etc. These, if established among us, will bring millions of dollars into this city, and wonderfully increase our trade. Is It not therefore the self-in-terest of every merchant of Terre Haute to increase the usefulness of our local press by a generous aud hearty advertis jag support. A BUSINESS MAM.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.—A Washington special to the Times says: It is understood to be untrue that any reply has been prepared to Granville's note, which note has not yet been received at the State Department. The contents of Granville's note are known to be as foreign to the threatenings of Gladstone's speech and the British press, as can be. There is not the slightest intimation that the disruption of the conference must follow. The subject of the note simply states the difference of opinion which has arisen as to whether the admission of the indirect claims is covered by the treaty.
NEW YORK, Feb. 10.—Many rumors were current around the City Hall, aud various parts of the city, yesterday. It was stated that Ingersoll had at last arrived. It was also widely rumored that Tweed, Hall, Conuolly and their associates were attempting to compromise all their claims for four or five million dollars. This latter report gains credence in political circles, but is, as yet, unconfirmed by reliable authority. Tweed still continues to visit his office daily.

SPRINGFIELD, February 10.—The colored girl, Maria Radway, who, for the past seven days, has laiu iu a trance-like stupor, is still iu an unconscious state, though a little food was given her to-day, this being the first in seven days.

SPRINGFIFCNT), III., Feb. 10.—A meeting of Democrats was held last night, to discuss the duty of the Democrats in the coming Presidential contest. Gen. Stone was chosen chairman. Gen. McClernand favored the aiding of Liberal Republicans to defeat Grant. He said this could not be done by Democrats alone.
Col. Turner wanted all honest men |to unite for the overthrow of Grant, whose sole aim was to build up a power dangerous to liberty, and no fair election could be held-$forth or South, because of the influence brought to bear by the administration. He saw signs of
day
in
a

the fact that such men as Judge
Davis, Schurz, Trumbull and Palmer had become disgusted with the administration.
He had great hopes of the Cincinnati Couvention, and wished to see Illinois represented, as it should be. It contains the brains of the Republican party.
Senator Reddick said the Democratic party deserved defeat if it neglected to embrace the square hold misrule policy He said Judge Davis was his choice for Presideu t.
Several other members favored aiding the liberal Republican and labor reform party, provided the nominations of the latter were endorsed by the Cincinnati Convention.
CHICAGO, Feb. 10.—Petitions are in circulation for the pardon of Alderman Montgomery, and it is understood that a strong pressure will be made on Gov. Palmer, who is given to pardons, to release all the convicted Aldermen. It is not expected that they will succeed.
CHICAGO, Feb. 3.—A special to the Times (Dem.) from Springfield, says: An informal consultation was held here today between several Federal officeholders from various parts of the State and the Republicans who are suspected of or who have avowed liberal sentimentsNothing definite was arrived at, but the tone of conference indicates that Grant is more disposed to make concessions for the purpose of harmonizing the party in his interest than heretofore. On the other hand the Liberal Republicans seem to grow more obstinate, and it is the opinion of those best informed that the State Convention will not be a very harmonious body.
CKESKILL, N. J., Feb. 10.—The Coroner's jury held an inque.-t yesterday on the body of Jacob Erbe, a coachman to Mr. Clark, murdered two days ago.

[Condensed from Associated Press Reports.] CONGRESSIONAL.
SENATE.
Mr. Robertson called for the regular order, and the resolution went over, and the Senate resumed the consideration of the amnesty hill. The question was on substituting "citizen" for "person" in the 5th section.
Mr. Cole advocated it, because it would exclude Chinamen. Mr. Nye took the same ground, and argued that the recent treaty with China forbade naturalization of Chinamen.
Mr. Sumner said it merely provided that no oue could claim to be naturalized under or by the treaty.
Mr. Carpenter said the meaning of the treaty provision was very plain. He knew that it was wrong to intimate that auy Senator was actuated by personal motives, but any one familiar with the recent policy, knew there was bitter animosity between the Nye family and Chinamen.
The amendment was lost—yeas 15, nays 36. Mr. Cole offered another amendment providing that this act shall not be construed to" alter the naturalization laws lost—yeas 15, nays 34.
Mr. Corbett moved to insert a provision that the !i should uot be construed to authorize naturalization ofCuinese.
Mr. Stevenson was astonished at Mr. Sherman's voting to place peaceful Chinamen on the Pacific coast at the mercy of their enemies iu the jury box, when he had declared by his previous votes that negroes at the South, ignorant, superstitious, utterly unconscious that there is a God above them, were lit to act as jurors.
Mr. Tipton protested against Mr. Sumner's supplementary civil rights bill as uncalled for, and cleverly subversive to the rights of State governments. He read extracts from protests by Governor Geary of Pennsylvania, and Governor Palmer of Illiuois, against Federal military interference in affairs of the States, and said that their language applied with j"ust as much force to the usurpations proposed in this bill. CTnder the excitement of the war these usurpations had been tolerated, but he warned the Senate that wheu the States should all have been restored to their places in the Union, the people would demand that all this uprising legislation should be swept away, and if necessary would enforce it at the point of the bayonet.
Mr. Corbett's amendment was then rejected—12 to 32. Mr. Vickers moved to strike out the first section ot Mr. Sumner's bill. Lost.
Mr. Robertson appealed to the Senate to pass the amuesty bill without amendment.
The question was then taken on Mr. Sumner's amendment to the supplemei tary Civil Rights bill and it was adopted by the following vote yeas—Ames, Anthony, Brownlow, Cameron, Chandler, Crageu, Clayton, Conkling, Fenton, Ferry of Michigan, Freelinghuysen, Gilbert, Hamlin, Harlan, Morrill of Vermont, Morton, O-fborn, Patterson, Pomeroy, Ramsey, Rice, Sherman, SpeDUer, Sumner, West, Wilson, Windarc and Wright—28.
Those voting nay were Blair, Boreman, Carpenter, Cole, Corbett, Davis of
TERRE FTATTTE. IND.: SATURDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 10, 1872
West Virginia, Ferry of Connecticut, Goldthwaite, Hamilton of Texas, Hale, Hitchcock, Johnston, Kelly, Logan, Morrill of Maine, Norwood, Root, Robertson, Saulsburry, Sawyer, Schurz, Scott, Stevenson, Stockton, Thurmau, Tipton, Trumbull, and Vickers—28.
Caldwell, Edmunds, Nye and Flanagan, who would have voted iu theaffirmative, were paired with Casserly, Hamilton, of Md., Bayard and Davis, of Kentucky, who would have voted in the negative.
The Vice President announced that it was a tie, and said that while he did not approve all the provisions in the amendment, he would vote in the affirmative, so that the fcmeudraeut was agreed to. [Loud applause by people in the galleries, mostly white.] The Vice President directed the doorkeepers to remove all persons manifesting approval or disapproval, but none were removed.
Mr. Sawyer moved to strike out all ex ceptions from the amnesty bill. Sir. Chandler ask°d whether it would lie in order to move to strike out the rest of the bill except the amendment just put in the Sumner civil rights bill? [Laughter.]
Mr. Edmunds said this would make it not an amnesty bill, but a bill providing that certain persons guilty of perjury in addition to treason, shall be entitled to hold offices aud exercise powers of the government in those States. It would admit three men who were shown by evidence now in possession of the government, to have been until lately, the Advisory Board of the Ku Klux in South Carolina—Gens. Hampton, Butler and Kershaw.
Mr. Sawyer said that Mr. Edmunds' statement about those gentlemen might be true, or it might not.
Mr. Morton said the effect of the amendmend proposed by Mr. Sawyer would be to make amnesty universal, aud to declare that the opiniou of the United States Senate is, treason was no crime.
Mr. Wilson protested against Sawyer's imputation upon the motives of Senators who voted to amend the amnesty bill.
Mr. Robertson said "that if Generals Hampton, Kershaw and Butler should be elected to govern South Corolina, it must be by the votes of colored people, who had a majority of 25,000 in that State. He did not* believe the charge against those gentlemen they were honorable men, who would scorn to aid or countenance such outrages.
Mr. Scott said Hampton and Butler had, by circular, solicited subscriptions for the defence ot theKu Klnx. The disabilities of Butler had already been relieved, so the fears of Mr. Edmunds cauie too late.
Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, thought it would be as well now to strike out all relating to the amnesty and pass the Supplementary Civil Rights Bill, and then pass another amnesty bill.
Mr. Blair thought Mr. Scott had no right to inculpate the distinguished gentlemen from South Carolina in Ku Klux outrages by reading a circular.
Mr. Scott—I did not say that they were members of theorgauization. Mr. Blair—I think the Senator isdisingenous. Now, consider the circumstance under which that circular was issued: Martial law declared in eight or nine counties, men dragged from their homes on the accusations of the lowest and vilest men in the State. This was the condition of things when these gentlemen came forward and appealed to their fellow-citizens to contribute for the defence of men so outraged. Now I state here, and it cannot be truthfully contradicted, that there was no disturbance in that part of South Carolina, and no ground which authorized the President to declare martial law.
Mr. Scott said the time would come for the discussion of the question whether the President was justified in suspending the writ of habeas corpus in the counties referred to, and when the time comes lie would be prepared to vindicate the President's action.
The discussion wa' continued at length by Messrs. Scott, Blair, Norwood and Edmunds.
Mr. Sawyer, fearing that his motion to strikeout exceptions would endaugerthe bill, withdrew it. The question was tlieu taken on Mr. Morrill's, of Vermont, amendment, including in the exceptions all persons who have been members of the Ku Klux organization, aud it was adopted—year 34, nays 16.
Mr. Morton offered an amendment providing that before any person could take the benefit of the bill he must swear that he never belonged to the Ku Klux, or any such organization. Th« amendment was adopted—yeas 34, nays 12.
No other amendments were offered,and the question was on the passage of the bill. The vote was then taken and the bill was rejected by the following vote, two-thirds not voting in the affirmative Yeas—Ames, Anthony, Brownlow, Caldwell, Camerson, Clayton, Conkling, Cragen, Fenton, Ferry, of Mich., Flanagan, Freelinghuysen, Gilbert, Hamilton, of Texas, Hamlin, Harlan, Kellogg, Morrill, ofVt., Morton, Osborn, Patterson, Pomeroy, Poole, Ramsey, Rice, Robertson, Sawyer, Sherman, Spencer, Sumner, West, Wilson and Wyndham.

A MAN, tried in Dumfries, Scotland, before the sheriff and a jury, accused of stealing some garments trom a farm-yard was defended by a local practitioner with so much success that the jury returned a verdict of *'Not proven." To the sur-? prise of his agent, the prisoner seemed by no means in a hurry to quit the dock after the verdict was rendered. The men of law went up to him, informed him that he had been acquitted, and was at liberty to go away, but still the fellow kept his seat. A. second time he was reminded that he was no longer a prisoner, but he remained immovable. At length, as the court was nearly emptied of the people who had been present during the trial, including the witnesses iu the case, the prisoner whispered to his counsel, "The fact is, my man, I durst na gang sooner I have on the pair of trowsers that was stolen." The prisoner had been placed in the dock wearing the clothes in which he had been apprehended, to enable the witnesses more readily to, identify him.
A NEW YORK paper says: "Miss Nilsson attended a mistletoe party at the house of Mrs. Paran Stevens, in this city, on New Year's night. Mistletoe branches were hung over the doors, but the ladies were chary of passing under them, or did so when unperceived. The gentlemen guests, in despair, broke off sprigs and snatched kisses while holding them over the young ladies' head. The beauteous prima donna was an especial object of affection. Everybody wanted to kiss her. Unconscious of mistletoe peculiarities, she passed under a doorway and was first embraced by a young Englishman uaned Bassett. She was wroth at the liberty, and slapped his face. He explained bis conduct, and the hostess corroborated him. Matters then cooled lown. At last a young man seized her by the waist, held a sprig aloft, and retained her till several of his friends had luxuriated."
How to Speak to Children. It is unusual to attempt the management of children either by corporeal punishment or by rewards addressed to the senses, and by words alone. There is one other means of government, the power aud importance of which are seldom regarded—I refer to the human voice.
A
blow may be inflicted on a
child, accompanied with words so uttered as to counteract entirely its intended effect or the parent may use language quite unobjectionable in itself, yet spoken in a tone which more than defeats its influence. What is it which lulls the infant to repose? It is an array of mere words. There is no charm to the uutaught one, in letters, syllables, and sentences. It is the sound which strikes its little ears that soothes and composes it to sleep. A few notes, however, unskillfully arranged, if uttered in a soft tone, are fouud to possess a magic influence. Think we that this influence is coudned to the cradle No it is diffused over every age, and ceases not while the child remains under the pareutal roof. Is the boy growing rude in manner, and boisterous in speech? I know uo instrument so sure to control these tendencies as the gentle tones of a mother. She who speaks to her son harshly does but give to his conduct the sanction of her own example. She pours oil on the already raging flame. Iu the presence of duty, we are liable to speak harshly to childreu. Perhaps a threat is expressed in aloud and irritating tone instead of allaying the passions of the child, it serves directly to increase them. Every fretful expression awakens in it the same spirit which produced it. So does a pleasant voice call up agreeble feelings. Whatever disposition, therefore, we would encourage in a child, the same we should manife&t iu the tone iu which we address it.
THE islands of Alaska are the summer resort of seals iu immense numbers, but where they spend their winters is an unsolved mystery. Sufficient search has been made for their winter abodes, with a view to taking their skins, to show that they do not land in any considerable numbers on any known ground. They begin to leave the islands early in October, and by the middle of December have all left, and none are seen again until April or May. A few hundred, mostly young pups, are taken by the Indians around Sitka, 1,2001" miles east of the island, during the month of December, agaiu iu March on their return to the islands, and in February off' the coast of British Columbia but in such small numbers as to make no appreciable difference in the immense numbers that visit the islands annually. It is claimed by the natives that the seals return invariably the second year to their places of birth, and, when not too often di.-turbed by driving, continue to do so. In order to test the truth of this story Mr. Bryant, Special Agent of the Treasury Department at St. Paul's Island, has instituted an experiment of an eminently practical character, although it might not command the entire approval of Mr. Bergh, whose jurisdiction, however, does uot extend to Alaska. He had one hundred male pups selected before leaving^ on a rookery one mile north of the village, and marked by cutting off their riurht ear and alike number by cutting off the left, ear, on a rookery to the south of the village. This has been done for two years, and next year the first will be old enough to be taken, when the result will be ascertained. It is evident that sharks or other voracious fish prey on the young pups while in the water, from the fact that of more than a million pups annually leaving the islands, uot one-third return to them in the spring.
HERE'S a true tale of two all about a beautiful and abandoned wife in this city. She married a wretch who loved her money not wisely, but too well. When be got the money he loved somebody else, and departed for the "rolling prairies of the mighty West." His earthly possessions were burned up in the Chicago fire, and then he came back to New York, aud put up at the Astor House, without a cent in his pockets. Remorse seized him (it must have been remorse), and ascertaining the address of his lawful partner, he thus wrote her: "I am here and penniless. Forgive the past, and come to my arms again."
This was what she wrote hack "I'll come as soon lean. Excuse delay. I've gone to have a loaded head put on the cane you left me
He didn't wait! Remorse seized him again, and carried him off. Finis.—New York Commercial Advertiser.
