spending the winter in this city, started to-day to their island home in San Francisno bay.—N. A. standard.

We somehow or rather labored under the impression that Mark was dead. This gentleman, however, may be Mark Anthony, Jr.

A REQUEST comes through the GAZETTE, of Terre Haute, that the police of our city, look up, properly spank and send home to their frantic mothers, residing in that rural burg, Robert Ostrander, John Riley and Mif. McKennon, aged forty-five years, equally divided between the three.—Ind. Eve. News. "OSWEGO,"

the Terre Haute correspon

Since the closing up of the Theater Comique, "Qswego" has pined away in body and become more or less chaotic in intellect, refusing to be comforted any more. 'Tis heart Pierce-ing and sad.

learn that our young friend, Midshipman John D. Keeler, U.

through the influence of Senators Morton and Pratt, of this State, has been transferred from the Wyoming to the Kansas, which is detailed to make Government surveys in Nicaragua for a ship canal. He was hale and hearty when last beard from.

THE impersonations of "Schneider" by Johnny Allen are alluded to in the highest terras of praise by our cotemporaries throughout the country, wherever performed. Now, that our people have hungered after amusements for sometime, we are inclined to think that they will attend this evening's entertainment at the Opera House in full force.

Holloway & Douglass, feline pelt-ers, is the cry, while caterwauls most piteous rend the sky.

see by reference to the dramatic

columns of the New York World that Clara Louisa Kellogg has signed a contract to appear on this continent next season in Italiau opera. She will have associated with her in her tour, Mine Pauline Lucca, who has created such a furore in musical circles in Europe. We hope these gifted prima donnas may be induced to include Terre Haute in their tour. Mons. Maretzek will be the manager. -%. -JP

THE management of the Fort Wayne Gazette, have recently enjoyed the felicity of a theatened strike among their compositors. Tbedifferences,however, we are pleased to learn, were amicably adjusted by arbitration. This we must commend as the most sensible way to adjust all such differences where both parties are willing to make some concessions. It is far better to do this than to endure all the inconvenience, if not actual suffering incidental to a strike and temporary suspension. The voice of reason is ever more welcome than that of disseosioo and internal strife.

AN UNKIND CUT.—The "unkindest cut of all," which the present incumbent of the Executive Chair of the Nation has ever received, is from the Newport Iloosier State, of this week. It may be to the enlightenment of those of our many leaders who are not favored with the visits of this Iloosierto state that the cut alluded to is one of the most villainous wood cut misrepresentations of facial expression, aud general outlines of physi. ognomv, which it lias ever been our misfortune to behold. If Graut ever sees that, he will certainly instruct the guardian of his social circle,Dent, to vigorously eject that editor from his domicile, if he ever calls.

THE LECTURE at Dowling Hall last evening, by Dr. 0'Le«iry, onPhisology, was largely attended hy ladies and gentlemen. The lecture is said to have been a very able one, though open to criticism. In the midst of the Doctor's remarks, denunciatory of the course pursued by the faculties of colleges, he was interrupted by a gentlemen who is described to us as a tall, bald-headed man, whose name we could not learn. The interrupting gentleman made issue with the Doctor, both gentlemen succeeding in making it quite lively for the audience. Which come out victorious in the controversy, our deponent sayeth not, for he

really

didn't seem to know.

HYMENIAT,.—Last evening Mr. W. C. Shortridge, of the John Hancock Life Insurance Company, of this city, assumed matrimonial bonds with Miss Mary E. Malone, formerly of Terre Haute. The ceremony was performed at the residence fitted up for their reception on Norh Pennsylvania street, by Elder A. J. Hobbs, of Cincinnati, assisted hy Elder Black, of the Christian Chapel, in the presence of a select party of invited friends.—Ind. Journal.

A CHANGE in the Adams Express Agency at this place was made on Monday last. Mr. Robert A. Moore resigned the position a few days previous, and the company sent down Mr. George W. Hill, wlro has been running for many years as a route messenger, to take charge of the office. It will be kept at the store of Tom. Reid & Co. We are sorry to part with Bob. as he has proved himself in all our dealings with the company, a faithful, efficient and accommodating agent.

Sullivan Democrat.

City Editor Evening Gazette: The editor of the Express, apeing a few Weak sentimentalists that afflict the country, is violently opposed to the hanging of the wretch who steals into your house, cuts your throat and robs you ot your treasures, and yet this fellow, whose benevolence thus "slops over" toward a muderous villain, is ready to take the lives of fv dozen honest men, who, in the performance of their duty to this community, should go into his house to remove to a properly regulated hospital any member of his family who may be stricken with infectious disease. Verily, consistency is a jewel he does not possess. F. N. D.

A Libel Suit Against a Newspaper—Verdict for the Defendant. LOUISVILLE, March 27.—A libel suit for $10,000 was some time since brought againt the Courier-Journal Company by George W. Hull, proprietor of an employment office, for publishing it as a swindling den. A change of venue was had to Oldham county, Hull swearing he could not obtain justice here on account of the great influence of the Courier-Journal in this community. The case has been on trial at Lagrange and concluded this afternoon, the jury giving a verdict for the defendant after being out only five minutes.—Associated Press Dispatch.

THERE is a Digger Iudian boy employed on a sheep ranch in Monteray county, California, who is a human curiosity. He herds about eight hundred sheep all by himself, and the overseer says he knows every one of them by sight, and when he brings them in at night, he will get on the coral fence and tell whether one of them is missing. He is about fourteen, and has a face as round as the moon, aud the brightest black eyes, which fairly sparkle with mischief. He turns more somersaults and hangs head downward from more trees than any mau can count readily, and seems hardly to be aware of the existence of the sheep during the day, yet brings them all in at night.

EFFECTS OF A MONKEY BITE.—Miss Ella Wesuer, who appeared for the first time at the National Theater ou Monday night, was scarcely able to go through her performance, and did so against her physician's advice. She had been attacked and bitten by a pet monkey belonging to Miss Kate Raymond, and her arm was swollen so that a necessity for amputation was feared. Yesterday an attache of Robinson's menagerie, who had been frequently similarly wounded, recommended a remedy so efficacious that last evening tiie arm was comparatively well.—Cin. Enquirer.

DEATH OF A MISER'S DAUGHTER.--The Albany Knickerbocker tells a sad story of the death of a young lady residing in that city who was to have been married the day on which she died. She suffered from a prostrating though not necessarily fatal disease, and her father, who is reported to be worth over $100,000, refused to secure medical care. Finally the you tig lady's betrothed secured a physician, but it was too late. The funeral was a very large one, and it is reported that the expense of the coffin, carriages, &c., was borne by the young man to whom the lady was engaged to be married.

A BOGUS BLITZ.—A man calling himself "Signor Bli.tz" is giving entertainments at Liberty Hall after the style of the renowned Signor Blitz, of Philadelphia, and as an inducement to people to attend gives away presents upon a plan by which twenty-fiveor thereabouts of more or less worth are distributed. The entertainment is a poor one at best, and worthy of no patronage. It bears no comparison whatever to that of the old gentleman whose name is assumed, and the presents are of a very ordinary character, worth iu fact little or nothing at all.—Sc.ranton Republican. -tif---

A BAGGAGE-SMASHER at the Union Depot iu Indianapolis, while slinging various articles about in his usual forcible and vindictive style, suddenly reached the conclusion that one particular valise was filled with revolvers. A* it struck the floor after being tossed ten or fifteen feet, an explosion occurred and a ball whistled in close proximity to the smasher's bead. He now handles all pafckages that resemble this one, in any particular, with the greatest tenderness, but wreaks his vengeance on Saratoga trunks.—Patent side Charleston Courier.

PARIS, March 29.—The trial of the libel suit brought by Gen. Trochu against the Figaro newspaper, commenced yesterday and was largely attended. Among a number of other witnesses examined was Marshal McMahon, whose testimony was a complete vindication of the military character of ex-Emperor Napoleon. He stated that important steps of the late war with Prussia were taken chiefly under his guidance and direction and declared himself solely responsible for all the movements of the troops after the army had left Chalons, and that no responsibility whatever for any part of the plan of the campaign was chargable to the Emperor. The evidence created a profound sensation in court.

Jewell considers that the prospects for the success of the Republican party at the coming election improve daily. The Democratic party has lost strength by the change of candidate and of platform. The Republican party will be united in the coming contest, and they propose to carry the State, secure a majority of the Legislature and elect a Republican as U. S. Senator.

Mr. Jewell does not regard the present campaign as a fight between Grant and anti-Grant men does not think it possible that any prominent man from Connecticut will take part in the Cincinnati Convention.

The suit upon which the order was issued, it is said, involves the possession of a large amount of property, in which one hundred thousand dollars bail will be required. The Sheriff refuses to divulge the names of the parties in the suit, as it would be detrimental to the ends of justice. Every eflort was made by Deputy Sheriff Jarvis, yesterday and up to a late hour last night, to serve to the order, but without success. Various rumors are afloat in relation to the mat ter, some asserting that the defendants were,connected* with prominent 'savings banks.

WASHINGTON, March 29.—The rumor that St. Louis bas been selected as the place, and Fourth of July fixed as the day for holding the National Democratic Convention, is entirely unfounded.

COLUMBUS, O., March 29.—Hon. Thos. Corcoran, who has been indirectly charged by the Cincinnati Commercial of having received bribes in connection with the defeat of a lottery bill, created a sensation in the House to-day by rising to a question of privilege.

[Condensed from the Associated Press Report.]

CONGRESSIONAL

SENATE.

Mr. Casserly's amendment offered yesterday, to repeal the duty on tea and coffee, was taken up.

The amendment adding to the bill the free list of the Senate tariff was concurred in.

Mr. Hamilton, of Maryland, moved to amend so as to reduce the duty on steel rails ten per cent. Lost—yeas, 25 nays, 28.

The question was then taken on the amendment made in committee, adding to the second section of the tariff bill reducing the duties on cotton, woolens, silks, iron, earthenware and glassware 10 per cent., and it was concurred in— yeas, 32 nays, 17.

Mr. Freelinghuysen moved to strike from the second section the manufacture of silk now subject to. a duty of 6 per cent., which was agreed to—yeas, 29 nays, 24. This leaves the duty unchanged.

Mr. Frelinghuysen offered two other amendments, striking out items, which were rejected.

The third section of the Tariff bill was then added. Mr. Hamlin said that the whole of the tariff bill reported from the Finance Committee had now Jjeen adopted, except the first section of the tea and coffee bill under consideration. He would except, however, from the first section of the tariff bill the clauses relating to rice and to iron-wire cloth, so as to leave all the present duties on those articles unchanged.

After some debate, Mr. Hamlin modified his amendment so as to make the duty on teas 8 cents per pound, and on coffee 1J per pound.

Mr. Edmunds moved to strike from the amendhaent offered as to tea and coffee, and to insert a positive provision that on and after July 1st, tea and coffee should be free. Lost. Yeas 21, nays 25.

Mr. Trumbull moved to reduce the duty on salt to three cents per hundred pounds. Lost. Yeas 15, nays 20.

Mr. Hamlin's amendment was then rejected. Yeas 16 nays 27. Mr. Trumubll moved the same amendment offered by Mr. Hamlin, omitting the paragraphs relating to tea and coffee. Adopted. Yeas 21, nays 18.

Mr. Scott offered an amendment repealing all internal taxes, except those on whisky, tobacco and malt liquors.

In answer to the question he said he meant to include the income tax for the current year.

Mr. Conkling predicted that if the bill as it now stood should be passed by both Houses there would be no reduction of internal taxes at this session of Congres.

Mr. Morton favored a large reduction of the internal revenue tax, and thought the amendment went too far. He did not think tax, which was already due, like the income tax, should be taken off.

Mr. Scott modified his amendment, to provide that all internal taxes on illuminating gas, the income taxes imposed by section 119 of the internal revenue act of 30th of June, 1864v except the tax on banks and bankers, and all taxes by stamps, except such as relate to distilled spirits', fermented liquors, snuff, tobacco and cigars, be repealed, said repeal to take effect the first of July, 1872.

Mr. Blair moved to omit the income tax from Mr. Scott's amendment. Lost —ayes, 19 nays, 21.

The question was then taken on Mr. Scott's amendment, when it was carried. Ayes, 28 nays, 11.

Mr. Sherman then expressed his opinion that the bill would be killed by the adoption of this amendment, and he believed it was so intended.

The bill was then passed, amid great confusion*, by a vote of 35 to Messrs. Boreman, Hamlin, Freelinghusen and Scott in the negative.

It now goes to the House for concurrence in the amendments, which include substantially the tariff bill reported by the Senate Finance Committe, and the wholesale reduction of internal taxes involved in Mr. Scott's amendment, the first section providing for free tea and and coffee.

The Senate then, at 9:40, adjourned until Monday.
