PROPHECY.—Listen to the language of prophecy. The Journal says': Col. Thompson will not be the Radical nominee for Governor.
It may be that the Journal man is "a prophet, or the son of a prophet," but we don't believe it. Therefore, he had better leave this matter with the nominating convention.
MESSRS. LANGFORD and Breuning have our mo9t hearty thanks for valued favors shown us during a recent and severe illness. By the way, this reminds us that there is no better bourbon for making "toddy" (prescribed by a physician, of oourse) than that kept by Langford and no better game than that kept by Breuning.
NOT THE MAN.—William Danner did not promise to marry a certain young woman and then ruin her. According to the Journal, it was Thomas Gartrell who did the awfully reprehensible deed. Gartrell was found guilty on Saturday and appropriately dealt with, while Mr. Danner was released from bail. 'Squire Nehf did the business.
THE editor of the Journal proposes to fill his "sweet tooth" from a Sullivan county sugar trough at the first opportunity. He says:
This week will most likely open the season of making maple sugar and tree molasses. We intend to visit a Sullivan county sugar camp at the first opportunity.
The fortunate Journal-ist no doubt received a fraternal invitation to tap a tree, in company with our handsome friend Ike Brown, of the Sullivan Union, whom we observed lugging from the city anew "inch and three-quarter auger," and a two gallon bucket,-one day last week.
PERSONAL.—Miss Sallie Donnohue, and Mrs. Tenuant, of Greencastle, mother of our young friend R. S. Tennant, spent the Sabbath in the city yesterday.
Mrs. Livermore has been visiting in the city more or less since her lecture on Thursday night of last week. She was the guest of Conductor Jones, of the Vandalia and Samuel McKeeu, Esq., both of whom reside on Eighth street. During the time that this distinguished lady spent in the city she received many calls from our citizens, whom she entertained with words of rare wisdom. She went East on the Vandalia this morning.
Hon. C. Y. Patterson, Judge of this Judicial Circuit, is abs«nt at Newport, holding court this week. The Judge goes by rail now-a-days.

Business Centers.
Comparisons of State Capitals with business centers, are not necessarily odious. If any takes exceptions, we have but to say, "facts are of a stubborn character." If auy of our Central Indiana friends "don't believe in a hereafter," in business piatters, let them consult statistical facts:
STATE CAPITALS. BUSINESS CENTERS. Compare Albany, N. Y., with New York City. Harrisburg, Pa., with Philadelphia.
Columbus, Ohio, with Cincinnati. Lansing, Michigan, with Detroit. Springfield, Illinois, with Chicago. Jefferson City, Mo., with St. Louis. Lexington, Ky., with Louisville.
So compare the Capitals of the remaining States, with their largest cities, and the result is generally the same. Iudianapolis thus far, has been the commercial and business metropolis of Indiana, but besides two or three New England States, she is an only exception to the general rule, certainly the only one west of the Hudson river. Look at the list of our largest cities. Are not these large business centers created by the natural laws of trade, which know no arbitrary State lines, while the Capitals are the centers of legislative enactments, for mere political convenience, regardless of eligible trade and business location? Do any of our central friends remind us that "the mills of God grind slowly." We answer "but very surely," and a little too fast for your purpose. Recent events ought to satisfy you that one of those ponderous and almighty machines is in active operation and grinding with rapidty. One of jts sure results will be the creation of a large manufacturing and business center near the western limits of Indiana, which no amount of central gas, broad-gauged, or narrow, can prevent. Rest assured that in accordance with natural laws, its revolutions are just now performed with accelerated rapidity. Legislation may hinder, but never control it. So prepare for the inevitable result. As the political and geographical center of the State, we all rejoice in the prosperity of our State Capital. Its business is inclining westward, toward a more natural business center, in which direction, if you will but look, you may observe tqe future manufacturing center and commercial metropolis of the State.
In this race let there be only a laudable ambition to win. With the advantages enumerated, we can afford to be generous, laying asido paltry jealousy aud cheerfully await results. Then instead of placing you in bad hands, as we surely should, by bidding the
"devil take care the hindmost," our earnest desire is, that our beautiful Capital may be sacredly preserved like other ancient curiosities aud mementos of the past, a warning to future generations of the narrow-gauge folly of an unnatural location, 73 miles east of the natural center. Inconvenient location is the "rock on which you split," and gauges, broad or narrow, can't save you. Having you "on the hip" we "bar out" your second census returns hereafter. Increase by honest natural means, as fast as you can, but no more "repeatiug" or "stuffing." Once will answer. Do youresire facts, ugly ones, in connection with your last census? We mean

Special correspondence of the Enquirer. THE INDIANA COAL MINES.
Visit of the Committee from this City to tliem. TERRE HAUTE, IND., Feb. 15,1872.
The joint committee appointed from the Chamber of Commerce and Board of Trade to visit the coal fields in this neighborhood, and report upon the practicability of a line of railroad connecting them with Cincinnati, arrived here yesterday afternoon. They had been on the road since the day before, making their trip in easy stages, and during the time the weather had changed from the balmiest of spring-time to the most intense cold, with the mercury ranging down about zero or even lower. So when our party stepped off the cars and into along line of cabs that they found iu waiting for them, they supposed that they would be taken at once to their hotel, where they could toast their shins and discuss the abstract questiou of their mission without any of the discomforts they had just escaped.
Not so, however. The people of Terre Haute now that they had got their visitors there," were not to be put ofi with a simple breaking of bulk and transfer of passengers from car to hotel. Not much! They were to be shown the town from all the various standpoints, with its advantages for business, its evidences of enterprise, of prosperity, and, more than all, of future greatness. These were points to be impressed upon them at the outset. So the cabs with their occupants bearing a mournful similarity to a funeral cortege, started out to do the town. This occupied something like an hour and a half of time, and while it gave the excursionists a favorable impression of the town it at the same time insured the party enough cold feet to procure a seore of divorces in this State—the paradise of the mismated.
Yet this is the season of the year when I should think, Terre Haute would not show its beauties to the greatest advantage. The streets, lined as they are on either side with shade trees, now look deserted the vacant lots, whose very amplitude strikes one as something uncomfortable, are many of them covered with ice, on which the boys and girls are skating, the family mansions, and there are many of them really elegant, look cold and lonesome, and there is a sort of general air of frigid discomfort about the town that I can easily believe does not exist ia the summer.
Our party has for its dragoman Judge J. W. Sweeney, a well-known Cincinnatian, who has charge of the subscriptions for the road at the eastern end, and who, I need hardly add, ought to be one of its directors. He is assisted in the performance of his task by Mr. L. Tienan Brien, the Secretary of the corporation, aNew Yorker, whose familiarity with the road enables him to explain the details of the undertaking. From these two gentlemen I have procured the following facts:
THE RAILROAD AND ITS OBJECT. The Cincinnati & Terre Haute Railway Company was orgauized during the past year under the general railroad law of the State of Indiana, with a capital stock of
four
millions, and is intended to pass
from Terre Haute, through the counties of Vigo, Clay, Owen, Monroe, Brown, Bartholomew, Decatur, Franklin, Ripley and Dearborn, to the eastern boundary of the State of Indiana, and thence through Hamilton county, in the State of Ohio, to Cincinnati. The distance between the termini will be one hundred and eighty miles and a branch will be constructed from Bloomington to the Wabash river sixty-two miles in length for the purpose of connecting with the St. Louis & Cincinnati Railway, and establishing a line between bt. Louis and Cincinnati twelve miles shorter than the existing short route, viarthe Ohio & Mississippi Railway, and twenty-five miles shorter than that via Indianapolis.
It is also proposed to construct fiftyseven miles of lateral branches, so as to secure the traffic of extensive coal and iron deposits, lying some distance from the main line, so that the company will eventually control three hundred miles of road. Subscriptions to the amount of $385,000 have already been voted by several towns aud counties along the line and as but few of the twelve counties through which the road passes have yet been canvassed for subscriptions, the managers believe that, in estimating the available means to be derived from this source alone at one and a half millions of dollars, they do not overstep the bounds of probability.
Individual subscriptions to the amount of $285,500 have also been made. To insure, however, suffiient capital for the prompt and expeditious prosecution of the work, the Board of Directors have issued a mortgage or deed of trust to the New York State Loau and Trust Company, as Trustees, conveying all the real and'personal property of the company, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and includiug valuable mineral privileges, to secure the payment of the principal and interest in gold of six million of dollars of bonding, bearing seven per cent, in gold, payable semi-annually.
The city of Terre Haute has voted $100,000 lor the construction of twentyfive miles of the road lying between that city and the banks of Eel Creek. The contract for this portion of the road has already been let, and work will be commenced as soon as the weather will permit. To-day the excursion party will visit the Brazil mines for the purpose of inspecting the coal and looking through the numerous blast furnaces and other industries which have sprung up as if by magic during the last four or five years.
ORTHO EPICAL.
There appears to be a wide difference of opinion as to the pronunciation of the name of this town. My friend, Dr. Sabin, who is a native, and to the manor born, insists on calling it "Tarry Hoot," while Prof. Cox, who is the State Geologist and ought to know, pronounces it "Terry Hut." I was inclined to accept his orthoepical innovation as correct uutil I heard the Professor refer to a climatic disorder that used to prevail here as the "ager." Then I lost faith in his pronunciation but not in his geology. Some call it Terry Hawt," others "Tarry Hote," still others "Tarry Ho," almost like the English huntsman's call. A A young gentleman, whom I suspect of teaching school and owniug a copy of Ollendorff's method, was at pains to pronounce it several times in my hearing, trilling ther, thus: "Ter-r-r-r Hote," with marked effect. Between them all, I am bewildered and confused, and have resolved never to attempt to pronounce the word in anybody's hearing. C. N.

Sioux CITY, IOWA, Feb. 19.—Dr. Hall, of Osceola county, Iowa, has been missing since the terrible storm of last week, and all efforts to discover his body have been unavailing, until a few days ago, when his dog brought in a portion of a man. This afternoon the dog was followed, and the mutilated body of the doctor was found only one-half mile from his house. Further reports from Osceola confirms the statement of the terrible severity of the storm and depth of snow.

RICHMOND, IND., Feb. 18.—About 8 or 9 o'clock Saturday evening Mr. A. Morrow entered the small brick building in the rear of E. Morrow's grocery in the center of the largest wholesale block in the city, to draw a can of non-explosive "Rosaline Burning Fluid." The gas ignited from the caudle, aud an explosion of sufficient force to shatter the brick walls instantly followed. Mr. Morrow was quite severely burned, and the burning contents of the several oil barrels ran through the cellar door into the basement of J. C. Howard & Co.'s wholesale grocery. The fire bells and whistle of the Quaker City Machine Works opposite brought out the fire department and in less than five minutes a fire engine had a stream on the flames, which were confined to the small building. The principal loss is by water and is fully covered by insurance.

CONGRESSIONAL.
In the House Saturday, Mr. Palmer, of Iowa, advocated the Union Postal Telegraph service, quoting the average of private press messages to Europe and the United States, aud claiming that they are much less in the former than in the latter. He quoted Beck as saying that the average amount of social messages in the United States is less than two per cent, of the whole number, and stated that in Europe social messages amount to sixty per cent, of the whole amount. He argued that telegraphs in this country are too potent to be left in private hands and as an agent of commerce ought to under the control of the general Government.
From the Chicago Tribune.
Will Grant be Nominated ?—He Can't be Elected. One of the straws which now points whieh way the wind is blowing is tha frequent mention of rival candidates for the Presidency, where, six months ago, no rival candidates, couid be found. Each of these indicates the belief of its mover that success is to be found under the standard he proposes. The average success of the public life of Schuyler Colfax, find the fact that, after a varied and long experience in public lifo, no strain of corrupt inducement or favorism attaches to him, is alleged by the Cincinnati Commercial, and other journals of power and forecast,
as
presenting just
that quality which will strike the popular mood at this juncture, in view of the nature of the Chief complaints against the present Administration. It is felt that Colfax understands politics himself, and could not be used by a Conkling, or Cameron, or a Murphy in a manner unfortunate for the party and injurious to the country, without knowing it. Several journals of Iowa are proposing the Hon. James F. Wilson, evidently to meet the popular demand for a man who represents large statemanship coupled with unsullied purity. A New York journal, boasting its hundred thousand circulation, proposes Lyman Trumbull for President. The name of Horace Greeley, Henry Wilson, James G. Blaine, J. R. Hawley, O. P. Morton. B. Gratz Brown and Senator Buckingham have been mentioned.
Among that class of politicians, who three months ago could see but one candidate there is now an anxious query whether President Grant is reasonably certain of carrying several important States wherin confessedly serious .political blunders have been made. New York, Missouri, Louisiana, Georgia, and perhaps Indiana, will vote, it is feared, against Grant, if he is renominated. Their loss would probably cost us the field. Such a ticket, however, as Trumbull and Blaine, or Wilson and Colfax, and Hawley, would carry either of these States, without losing the votes of any that could be got for Grant.
Anecdote of Wigfall.
A Texas correspondent sends the folowing, saying it has not appeared in print: "Mr. Louis T. Wigfall, oue of the leading seccessionists of Texas and the South, felt, after Lee's surrender, somewhat embarrassed as to his corporeal safety in a land then in possession of his enemies. He left Richmond in disguise, and traveled on muleback, alone, for Texas. Dick Taylor had also surrendered, and all the ferries and crossings were in the hands of the Federal forces. Wigfall could pursue no other course but to risk himself to be put across the Mississippi by a "detachment of Union soldiers. He was well disguised. Observing that no allusion was made to himself, and wishing to know, if possible, how the wind blew, he began a general tirade against the leading Confederates, winding up by inquiring what would be done with that scamp Wigfall if? they should catch him. The soldiers replied they supposed they would hang him. 'Yes, they would do exactly right, and I would pull at one end of the rope!'said Wigfall, mounting his mule and trotting off westward."—Editor's Drawer in Harper's Magazine for February.
THE New York World's correspondent separates the fashionable belles of Washington society into two classes, from the appearance of their nude shoulders at receptions. There are those who go into the daily bath and look clean and those who rely on a scrub for special occasions and look greasy. The first appeals to the taste, while the last causes the taste to appeal to a Turkish bath or a charitable vesture. This critic deserves the "Order of the Bath." &

MR. POTTER, of Massachusetts, has gathered some interesting facts relative to the average length and cost of the legislative sessions iu twenty -four leadiug States of the Union. The New Hampshire House of Representatives has the largest number of members— 338, while the Delaware House has but 21. New Hampshire, however, has the smallest number of Senators—12, except Delaware, which has nine persons in the upper House. California pays her legislators $10 per diem, while those of Rhode Island receive but $1 per day. The Kentucky Legislature meets but once in two years, and the average length of the sessions is sixty days, while the Legislature of Massachusetts holds annual sessions of about 170 days. The Massachusetts Legislature is also ahead in the matter of expense. Law in the Bay State is enacted at the high eost of $256,000 per annum, while in Delaware the Legislature costs but $10,000 biennially in
Rhode
Island, $8,000annually
in New Jersey, $14,000 per year, and in New York, $48,000 annually.
THE London Saturday Beveiw sarcastically and sneeringly says: "One of the most remarkable developments of modern mythology is the worship of virtue and wisdom." The reason seems tons to be plain enough. All clases which have been wronged aud neglected, the moment the world awakes to even a feeble sense of the injustice with which they have been treated, are, through the inevitable reaction in feeling, overrated and credited with excellent qualities which they may not, after all, possess. Society does this involuntarily penance for its previous want of the commonest kind of equity. Our own colored populatiou afford a striking illustration of this reactionary propensity. In making out a decently just case for the blacks, some warm-hearted philanthropists have fallen into the mistake of considering them more intelligent than they really are and this exaggeration has done mueh mischief.
IN a divorce case pending in Ohio, the grounds of the husband's application are that his wife insists that he shall kill the old cat that has been with them for ten years. He says "it is not because he hates to part with the animal,but the job is too much to ask of him while he is in feeble health, as at present." He has drowned her twice, shot fourteen rifle balls through her vitals, given her half a pound of strychnine, committed hari-kari on her with a pitch fork, and the only effect perceptible is a trifle more tone to her voice and a bay window over one eye. This is one of the most singular concatentions of circumstances on record.
COMPOSITION OF ^ROLITES.—Chemical analysis has revealed the presence of at least twenty-three different elements in meteors, out of the whole number «f sixty-five thus far discovered as composing the earth'ssubstance.
GUARNA is the new substitute for tea and coffee. It consists of the seeds of a tree known to botanists as the Paulina sorbitis, which is verv abundant. The tree produces a fruit about the size of a walnut, containing five or six seeds. The seeds are roasted, mixed with water and dried. Before being used they require grinding, when they fall into a kind of powder. The active principle is an alkaloid identical with that found in tea and coffee, but there is twice as much of it in guarno as there is in tea. Our readers will please not confound guarno with guana.—Ind. Evening Journal.
THE distinguished foreigner who will probably succeed Alexis in supplying something for our people to gas at and make miserable is a young rhinoceros. His peculiar attraction ie that he is one of those very rare specimens having two horns, one on the forehead and the other on the nose. He is about the size of a three year old celt, and is quite playful and frisky, though perfectly tame. His ultimate destination is the Hamburg Zoological Society, but he will be permitted to visit this country—to complete his education, perhaps.
