Additional Local Xews.

THE Express is still defending its voluptuous "Jenkins!"—Journal. The old "organ" had better defend itself for publishing such balderhash.

FRANK BAYLESS, the champion skater of Indiana, has turned his attention to surveying, and is now employed on the Eel River Railroad corps—^t. Wayne Sentinel.

THE price of wife whipping in Terre Haute, at present, is $\0.G0.—Evansville Journal.

Tom Watson of the north part of the city knows, etc.

TIIE Vandalia trains due here at 5:50 and 11:50 this A. M., both arrived at 12:50 P. M., hayin? been detained at flartershurg by a broken rail, an account of which appears elsewhere in these columuns.

TITK editor of the Banner says he is not to blame be auso we cannot talk and read Herman. On the same principle WR are exempt from blame heeanie the Banner editor nan neither appreciate or understand the English laneuage.—Tournal.

Or his own business, for that matter.

THE relat'on of landlord and Tennant is not more intimate than Jenkins and "a friend of Jenkins," who ballast the columns of the Express.—Journal.

Do let upon Jenkins, friend Edmunds, if only on principles of charity and mercy.

TITK Rev. Peter Cartwright is still liviner, and is able to converse with his friends at times, but his life is gradually fading awav. All of his children were at, the old homestead, near Springfield, Til., on .Sunday of last week. Great numbers of letters are received from all parts of the country, inquiring after his condition.—Chicago Tribune.

THE beer drinkers of Terre Haute have combined in an effort to force the venders to use larger glasses. They plead that more "beer can b® sold that way.—Evansvillc Journal.

Terre Haute saloonists may reasonably expect a visit from the Journal man, who thus endeavors to have the beer glasses enlarged that he may get his fill.

BUSINESS was never better at this seasou of the year in this city. In every department of trade, the receipts are far in excess of expenditures, indicative of a healthy condition of finances. No heavy failures to record, as is almost daily the case with our cotemporaries of other cities.

SEVERAL members of the police force of this city are of the modern Hercules type whom it would not be for the physical welfare of the offenders of the majesty of municipal law to fool with. Such, for instance are chief Gilmore, officers Stewart and Brasher. Their strength is only equalled by their courage.

THE champion quilt "piecest" of Indiana resides at New Albany, and her name it is Miss Anna Turner, according to the Ledger, which says that she has pieced a quilt on the "ocean wave pattern" containing 9,495 blocks. It seems that Miss Anna had better Turn'er mind to the business and piece a quilt for the National exhibition.

"HADN'T mothers orter teach their dattershow to keep house and things, afore they lam 'em how to claw on a pyanuer?" was the startling though suggestive couundrum asked the local of the Fort Wayne Sentinel in his "Answer to correspondents" columns. The young man cheerfully and promptly acknowledged that he really didn't know, but suggested that it was a matter of taste.

OUR learned legal editorial friend of the Rockvllle Patriot, wauts to be a candidate for Circuit Prosecutor on the Democratic ticket. It would be a pity to elect this intellectual giant to the humble position of Circuit Proseeutor, because his young readers would suffer an irreparable loss in his able semi-occasional treatiseon the "Elements of Law," when "the sear and yellow leaf Beason of the year" is fully developed.

THE spriug term of the State Normal School, located in this city, opened very auspiciously this morning. In addition to the one hundred students of the last term, moat all of whom have already returned, there are about fifty new ones, mostly masculines. The new professor assumed the responsible duties of instructor in the Geographical Department. President Jones, is yet absent in Missouri. The other teachers were all at their posts we understand.

Business Items.

and ma-

Those mammoth piles of brick mortar, the Vandalia car works, chine shops, round house, passenger and /reight depots, etc., are only slight changes from the continuous corn fields of a few years since, iu comparison with the probable improvements of the next ten. Who dare estimate them

An extensive brick machine shop, is one of this spring's projected improvements to the boiler works of Spracklen & Bomburg.

Short news items of trade and manufactures, indicating the business enterprises and prosperity of our city, interest our readers, and are cheerfnliy inserted in the GAZETTE free of charge. Will our friends pass them along.

A COMING event is the Kellogg concert. Dear reader, bear in mind that on the evening of the 2d of April Miss Fannie J. Kellogg will make her last appearance in public in this city at the grand Opera Plouse, for the present at least. Remember also that it may be the last opportunity you will have for many days, if not years, and perhaps ever, to hear and in a measure reward her for the good she has done our community and the musical satisfaction you have enjoyed by reason of her stay in our city. There will be other participants whom it will be worth your while to go and hear.' Arrangements are being perfected by the gentlemen and ladies in charge of the entertainment which will render the occasion one of rare occurrence among us. From present indications,as indicated by public sentiment, we think the Opera House will be largely attended if not cro'wded.

A SISTER'S SETTLING STYLE.—The Harrison county correspondent of the New Albany Standard deposes to the elfect that "a few nights since a young man iu Boone township, Harrison county, went out walking with a young womau, who, from some cause, was not very highly appreciated by the young man's sister. The sister undertook to advise the young beau concerning his choice of female company. At this, the brother fancied his dignity insulted, and retorted in terms unbecoming a fledgling of his caliber, whereupon, the sister brought in in a stout brush, and administered unto him a sound trashing. He fled from before the face of.his sister, and further deponent saith not."

"SCHNEIDER" is the title of the piece which Johnny Allen and his artistic support will render in this city at the grand Opera House Friday eveuing of this week. The play aud chief character, as well as every member of the troupe, are noticed in enthusiastic notice of the press wherever they have appeared. Johnny Allen formerly was first support of Alf. Burnett, so well known as the greatest of minstrels and artistic humorists of the day. In many respects it is said that Allen is his equal.

"MUZZLE that dog" will never again be the theme of ProfessorS. M. Hastlett, the eminent temperance lecturer, who not long since made a tour through the northern and central part ot Indiana. A few evenings since he addressed a large meeting at Meridian, Conn., weut to his room at the hotel where he stopped, and verysocn became suddenly and severly ill. Physicians were summoned who pronouueed his difficulty congestion of the lungs, from which he soon died.

Personal.

Dr. Oronhyatekha, the Indian for whose education the Priuce of Wales made provision on his tour in Canada, has proved himself well worthy of his royal beuefactor. He has distinguished himself in theuniversity,become a master of the science of medicine, and a learned and eloquent speaker. He is directing his abilities toward the improvement aud advancement of his own people, the "Six Nations," of Brant.—St. Louis Democrat.

The subject of the above notice was a class mate of Edward E. Law, Esq., and Messrs. J. G. and G. W. Shanklin, at Kenyon college. He gave evidence then of remarkable talents, especially as a speaker and logician, and was highly esteemed by the faculty, as well as by his fellow-students. He visited his old comrades in Evansville some yeare ago, and was the guest of Mr. Edgar Sharpe, who was also at Kenyon during Oronhyatekha's residence there. He will be kindly remembered by many of our young people, who met him at an entertainment given by Mrs. S. E. Gilbert, to all of whom the tidings of his success will be agreeable.—EvansviUe Courier.

An Important Snit.

From the Greesburg Standard we learn that a suit will be disposed of at the present term of the Common Pleas Court of Decatur county, which was commenced in that court about two years ago—State on relatiou of John

Scobey

against F. M. Weadon, Auditor, &c., to compel the latter to plaoe upon the tax duplicate the levy for the $100,000 voted by the tax payers of Decatur county some two years ago to the North & South Railroad—the road ruuning from Vernon to Greensbufg, thence to Rushville. The proceeding is destined to test the validity of the claim of the company to the said $100,000 and owing to the interest at stake, and tUe ^mopnt involved in it, the progress of the casp will be watched witli unusual interest,

Most of the business transactions were of a private character, aud no figures were given differing from the closing quotations yesterday, except Union Pacific stock, which closed at 38£. Although there was no sales of Erie last evening, the opinion seems to prevail that Erie stock will touch 70 to-day. A number of bets were made to that effect. The crowd was not near so large as on Monday evening, aud a majority of the brokers retired at4an early hour, evidently fatigued with the labor and excitement of the past two days.

CONGRESSIONAL.

SENATE.

Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, offered a resolution to repeal the tariff and a large uumber of internal revenue taxes.

Mr. Morton objected, and the resolution was withdrawn. The tariff bill coming up, on motion of Mr. Scott it was informally laid aside.

The House bill to repeal the duty on coffee was taken up, aud it was moved to have the law take effect on the 1st of July next.

Mr. Robertson introduced a bill to secure uniformity in the gauge of railroads of the United States providing that the Postmoster General shall require as one of the terms of the contracts with railroads for carrying the mails, that the gauge shall be four feet, eight and one-half inches. At the expiration of one-half of the duration, such contracts to be subject to a reduction of onefifth of their pay therefor, and also requiring the department, in making contracts for carrying through mails, to discriminate against railroads that have other gauges. 'These provisions are not to apply, however, to narrow gauge roads, the gauges of which do not exceed three feet six inches.

Mr. Trumbull moved to place salt on the free list. Mr. Sherman asked to let the vote be taken separately on tea and coffee, but Mr. Trumbull declined.

Debate proceeding— Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, offered the following resolution:

Resolved, That the Committee on Finance be instructed to report amendments to any bill reducing taxes, which shall repeal the internal revenue laws now in force, and imposing taxes as follows:

The tax imposed by section 110

of internal revenue act of 1864, as subsequently amended, and all taxes payable by stamps, except such as relate to distilled spirits, fermented liquors, tobacco, snuff and cigars.

Mr. Morton objected to the present consideration, and Mr. Morrill withdrew the resolution.

The tariff bill came up. Mr. Scott moved to lay aside the tariff bill for the purpose of taking up the House bill to make tea and coffee free.

Mr. Sherman said that the tea and coffee trade was paralyzed by uncertainty as to the action of Congress, and for the purpose ot ascertaining the will of the Senate on the subject, he would agree that the House bill making tea and coffee free, sh^lHd be taken up, though he would not vote for it.

The House bill was taken up. Mr. Scott offered an amendment providing that it should go into effect on the 1st of July next also that tea and coffee in bond on the 1st of July shall be free, and that duties that shall have been paid on tea and coffee in bond on that day, be refunded.

Mr. Trumbull moved to amend so as to put salt on the free list on and after the passage of the act.

Mr. Hamlin suggested he should add coal, but Mr. Trumbull said he preferred to have them voted separately.

Mr. Sherman said if these amendments were to be passed, they would defeat the object he had in view in consenting to lay the tariff bill aside.

Mr. Trumbull said he wished to bring the Senate to a direct vote on salt. He said that the people, would be relieved five times as much per head by repealing the duty on woolen goods, as by making tea and coffee free.

Mr. Morton said he believed we could make tea and coffee free, and make the proposed reduction of ten percent, on articles enumerated in the second section of the Senate tariff bill, and repeal all internal revenue taxes eacept on spirits, fermented liquors and tobacco, and still pay off fifty millions of public debt next year and therefore he gave notice that he would offer an amendment leaving tea and coffee free, and repealing all laws imposing taxes by stamps, except on spirits, fermented liquors, snuff and cigars, and all laws imposing taxes on gas, the repeal to take effect on the first of October, 1$72.

Mr. Scott said that, if Mr. Morton's amendment should prevail, he (Scott) would think it a waste of time to consider the House bill further, and would yield the whole subject again to the Chairman of the Committee on Finance.

The question was then taken on Mr. Trumbull's amendment to include salt, and it was rejected yeas, 19 nays, 29.

The amendment to include'coal was also rejected yeas, 17 nays, 25. Mr. Morton then offered an amendment to the pending House bill, (the whole ofthe tariff bill,) reported from the Senate, relating to tea and coffee.

Mr. Scott appealed to him to withdraw the amendment, but he declined to do so. The amendment was then rejected yeas, 22 nays, 26.

Mr. Morton then offered the amendment of which he had given notice. Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, offered the free list in the Seuate bill as a substitute for Mr. Morton's amendment.

Mr. Sumner said he would vote for Mr. Morton's amendment, although he regarded it as incomplete, because it would leave undisturbed the tribe of internal revenue officers,now burdening the country. This ought not to be left to the discretion of anybody. The bill nought to oontaiu a positive provision of

extermination against the whole tribe. Mr. Morton said the Secretary of the Treasury had power to discharge unnecessary revenue officers, and that it must be left to him, or some other executive officer, to judge how many could be spared.

Mr. Morrill's substitute for Mr. Morton's amendment was adopted yeas, 34 nays, 13.

Mr. Wright then offered to add the second section of the Finance Committee's bill reducing duties 10 per cent, on textile fabrics and manufactures of iron, steel, earthenware, glassware, leather and India rubber. Agreed to yeas, 22 nays, 17.

Mr. Sherman gave notice that to-mor-rsw be would offer the tariff bill as reported from the Committee on Finance, as a substitute for the pending House bill.

Mr. Morton gave notice that he would renew his amendment for reduction of internal revenue taxes.

Mr. Trumbull said he would renew his amendment to make salt free. Several other notices of amendments were given, aud the Seuate adjourned.

From McAlpine's Life and Times of James Fisk, Jr.

Jim Fisk's First Composition. One of his copy-books, used when he was about 12 years of age, is still preserved by his stepmother at her home in Brattleboro, and to say that it is a literary curiosity is to do meagre justice to one of the most original of all the written results of school-boy labor ever examined by the critic. Hardly a page but shows the antipathy of the boy to everything like set forms, and hardly a line but bears evidence of his natural contempt for uniformity. The little book contains three or four compositions, one of which, entitled, "A Piece about the Dog," is as unique as anything ever penned by Artemus Ward. The young writer says in his "Piece" (which had evidently been originally written "Peace"):

A Dog is an animal with fore legs because he is a quadrooped. I like large dogs best because they can run further and fight better than little dogs and they can also cetch rabbits. A big dog ain't worth much without hes got good breed into him. Then I haddratber hev a little one. They can also drag sleds some has been learned to cary sticks and baskets and seterer. The bnlldog is the best fighting dog because-most likely he was made for that purpus. A terrier goes mostly for rats, but they can also fight. I think the newfoundland is the noblest dog he saves children from drownding, and they are sagasious. This is all for the present.

Indian Idols in Iowa.

The Dubuque Times says that at the base of what »is known as Capitola Bluff, seven miles from Lansing, there is an Indian idol manufactured out of the solid rock, which has stood there no one can tell for how many centuries, but which must soon be removed to make room for the coming railroad. At a little distance the idol resembles a huge bear reposing upon its hauuehes. The strange and uncouth object is still held in the utmost veneration by all Indians, and 4he various bands, as they pass up and down the river, invariably stop and endeavor to propitiate the idol with liberal presents of tobacco, strings of gaudy-colored beads, pieces of dry buffalo tongue, &c. There it sits at the base of the bluff, mute and solemn, looking out with expressionless ey.es oVer the bosom of the mighty river that murmurs at its feet, never mourning, never speaking, like another sphynx. The ground whereon the throne of the idol reposes is wanted for the roadbed, aud the silent, expressionless god, whose brow has been bathed in the morning sunlight of so many centuries, must fall. But a short disiance from this is a smaller idol, which had evidently been placed on the side of the bluff, but by some convulsion of nature, was overturned centuries ago aud pitched into the river. During high water it is completely covered, but in low water the head and part of the body are distinctly visible.

From the New York Tribune.

The Beginning of Charles Sumner's Opposition to the Administration. The first message ever transmitted by General Grant to Congress embodied a recommendation that the laws be so altered that a leading importer might at the same time be Secretary of the Treasury, and Mr. John Sherman was ready with a bill echoing that recommendation, which he proposed to put through at race-horse speed under a suspension of the rules. There was a brief pause, but all seemed willing to defer to the chief dispenser of patronage, or, at all events, unwilling to thwart his pleasure. "I object," at length pealed forth the sonorous voice of Charles Sumuer, and the project was arrested. Next day you could find no one willing 'to admit that he had ever acquiesced in it. An hour's reflection backing a word of remonstrance had sufficed to kill it very dead.

'FAME has been made a very cheap article in New York. Ou a trial last Tuesday to recover the equivalent for a portrait aud sketch of one Dougan, published in aNew York Sunday paper, the fact was shown that the Harpers and Frank Leslie were paid for many of the portraits of "self-made" and other distinguished citizens, which it was thought they presented to thepublicfrpm motives of the purest admiration, mingled with a noble spirit of enterprise.
