Additional Local News.

TirR Galesbura Register wants a St. a to inebriate asylum.— Chicago Jpvening Mail.

The Register needs one worse than any paper of which we have any knowledge.

TIIK GAZETTE local has infirmities and ho nose it.—Journal. Does the Journal man long to know of a few of his infirmities?

THE New York News Letter is on our table, through the kind courtesy ofW. M. Lee, agent. The publication is a valuable journal of illustrated, instructive and entertaining literature. Its title page is artistically illustrated, "wallenstein and Seni, his Astrologer," being the subject of illustrations.

STRAIGHT, 'the "straight-forward" agent of the Great Eastern Circus has contracted with E. P. Allen, E-q., managing agent of the I. St. L. R. R. "Co., for twenty cars to carry that mammoth itinerent institution from this city to points of exhibition along that line of travel, including Paris, Mattoon and Pana.

PARSON GOODWIN, of the Indianapolis American, is opposed to Mr. Willard Nichols, city editor of the Commercial, that city, for the office of Township Trustee, because he is the head of a trade's union society. The prayerful Parson don't like trade unions because the Typographical Union refused to "set up his paper" at his own terms. The P.irson should not "set down ought in malice."

THE loquacious local of the Express called at the Opera House book store this forenoon and took a "new view of hell" —from Dooley's stand point. We also took a view of the same and carried one of them away with us, as Dooley has several. We shall examine the article and sample it, that our readeVs may have the benefit of our experience—many oi whom have no doubt Consigned us to that place, heretofore.

ROBBERS AFLOAT.—A couple of thieves 1 ke into and robbed a hardware store atKokomo, Howard county, on Tuesday night last. They placed their plunder into a skiff and embarked on Wild Oat creek, Which was very high, and floated down into the Wabash. Night before last they passed this city about dark, managing to elude the officers on the lookout for tliem. Arrangements have been made for their arrest by the time they reach Terre Haute.—LaFuyette Journal.

THE St. Louis Railway Register says: The first installment of iron for the Paris tfc Danville, (III.) railroad arrived on Monday, and track laying began on Tbrusd'ay, so says the Paris Blade. The building of this long desired road is now assured, and there is uow but little room to doubt that before fall the cars will be running from Paris to Danville.

One week from to-morrow, cars will be run over the completed track from Areola, (III.) to this city, running over the I. & St. L. road from Paris to this city, arriving here in the forenoon, where the excursionists, three hundred in number, will enjoy the well-known prosperity of Terre Haute.

That F.xenrsion-Meeting Called. We are requested by business men to announce that there will be a public meeting at Dowling Hall, to-morrow evening, to which the business public aud others interested are iuvited and solicited to attend. The object of the meeting is to take action in the matter of entertaining the railroad excursiouists from Areola and other points along the line of the Paris & Dauyille Railioad, soon to be oompleted from Areola to Paris, where the"line intersects with the Indiauapolis & St. Louis Railroad, and over the track of which trains are run from Areola and intermediate points to Terre Haute. The excursion occurs one week from to-morrow instead of to-mor-row, as incorrertly stated iu the Evening GAZETTE of Saturday. We trust this meeting will be largely attended and that prompt and proper action will be taken in the premises. Our citizens have a great reputation to sustain in the matter of hospitality to those who visit Terre Haute, and in this instance we hope and expect they will add to rather thafi take from that reputation.

Scribner's Monthly Improved. With the May number, which begins a new volume, Scribner's Monthly takes anew departure!

The special leature of this number are the department of practical and popular science, jiist added the enlargement of the department of home and society, to which half a dozen of the most brilliant and talented of writers among the women of America will hereafter contribute monthly matters of special interest to all thoughtful women in our American homes. The leading illustrated article commences a series descriptive of American life and scenery, under the title, "Traveling by Telegraph." The illustrations are by a group of artists—Moran, King, Sol. Eytynge, W. L. Sheppard, Runge, Bush, and othurs.

The May number contains a very funny story by Mrs. Walker, graphically illustrated by Sheppard another of the Saxe Holm Stories, with two exxuisite poems a story by Noah Brooks,—"The Waif of Nautilus Island and a short installment of Mrs. Oliphant's story, "At His Gates," as magnificent in its descriptive poweT" as auything which has appeared for many months.

Warner gives us another of the charming "Back-Log Studies Wilkinson writes trenchantly of Lowell's Prose Holland discourses of "The Conservative Resources of American Life," "Rum. and Railroad-s," and "Esthetics at a Premium."

The number is crowded with good things—stories and poems and essays aud editorials descriptive articles graceful and practical discussions of home life and society a review of culture and progress throgliout the world the latest developments of science, etc., etc.,—the whole adorded anj embellished with beautiful pictures, the work of eminentartists, presenting, a concise and convenient form, the most attractive, stimulative, amusing, instructive and delightful reading for the family, the school, the count-ing-room, ond the office.

The three bound volumes of Scribner's Monthly, which are offered with a year's subscription and covers for bindiug of vols. 4 and 5 at the low price of $10, contains more than a thousand illustrations aud nearly four thousaud pages of choice literature—a whole cyclopedia of useful knowledge.

Single

numbers are

Mammoth and Magnificent. U. R. Jeffers, the notion king of the Northwest, has arrived from New York, "and all points East,'^ with another magnificent stock of notions. What he and Messrs. Elisha Havens, and Robb. Gt'ddes, the other enterprising members of this enterpri ing firm of U. R. Jetfers & Co., did with the immense stock of goods in their line whi&i crowded every spare inch of space in their truly magnificent mammoth establishment last February, is "more than we can tell. However, the dealers iu their line of goods aud the public generally, all over this Western country, can no doubt answer the query. That the stock is all gone, we know, and that the vacum is again being rapidly filled up, we are fully aware "only this aud nothing more," can this deponent depose. However, we will add, that the stock uow being received, is far ahead oi anything ever before received in this City in this line of- goods, which line of goods, as is well-known, includes everything to be found in auy wholesale notion establishment on the continent, not excepting in the great metropolis. These goods are uow by them, offered for sale at such terms-as cannot be obtained in New York City or elsewhere by dealers, iu less quantities than these enterprising business men aud heavy capitalists purchase. Therefore it is to the interests of all dealers and retailers in notions, within hundreds of miles of this city, to purchase of U. R. Jeffers & Co. Already the trade of this heavy firm extends from this city in every direction for many long miles and we can truly assert that it will be to the financial advancement aud consequent business prosperity of retail dealers in the line of goods kept by this firm to come to Terre Haute and examine the stock always kept on hand by U. R. Jeffers & Co., 104 Main street, before going East to purchase.

ECHOJSS FROM ROUND TOP.—The above lecture, by Rev. Jesse B. Young, A. M., will be delivered in Centenary M. E. Church, Terre Haute, Tuesday evening, April £3, beginning at 7£ o'clock. Mr. Young was an officer in the battle of Gettysburg aud is uow pastor of the M. E. Church in that town. The lecture constitutes a series of life-scenes iu the campaign of Gettysburg, embracing vivid descriptions of bivouac and battle^ and thrilling sketches of the work among the wounded. Admittance free. A collection will be taken in behalf of the "Gettysburg Memorial Widow Fund." These wiudows are intended to commemorate a feature of the strife not hitherto perpetuated in art—viz the work of the Christian and Sanitary Commission, and the Services of Woman iu behalf of the sick and wounded during the war.

A PROMINENT Paris ward politicistr attended the Fanny B. Price matinee, at the grand Opera House, this city, last Saturday. Entering the house, he selected a prominent balcony chair, which was not in position, the seat being turned up against the "back" of the chair. The Paris man placidly perched himself upon the arm of the chair, and foratimefran tically endeavored to maintain his perch At last, despairing of ultimate success, he arose and walked out of the house, calmly muttering between his clinched teeth: "Them is the damndest, meanest cheers. I tversotgo.'J"

Medical Experts

The following article, taken from the Sullivan Union, we understand,-.was a hit at one of our Terre Haute physicians, who figured as one of the medical experts in the case of Sherman vs. Dr. Coffman for malpractice:

During the Sherman and Coffman trial, which occupied so much of the recent term of the Sullivan Court of Common Pleas of this county, in which cases over twenty doctors were examined as medical experts, one of whom from a neighboring city not a hundred miles from here, under took to show off his "book learning" to thejury by using great big jaw breaking medical phrases, which His Honor upon the bench (Judge Scott,) could not readily well comprehend, and he remarked that he presumed that the jury did not, and therefore he requested the witness to use plain and simple language in giving his evidence to the jury.

S. R, Hamill, who was one of the attorneys in the case, iu his speech to the jujy alluded to th& "erudite medical witness" who used "big words" in giving in his testimony, and told the following anecdote, which it is, useless to here add, brought down the court house, which at the tirfie was tilled to overflowing with spectators.

Mr. H. said that some twenty years ago in Vermillion county a case of a simple assault and battery was tried beford Judge Imw, who was then judge of this judicial circuit. Dr. 'P— was examined the case, and told

as a witness in the jury that he found

the injured party suffering from a severe contusion of the integuments under the left orbit, with great vasatation ot blood, and ecchypioeses in the surrounding cellular tissue, which was in a tumified state. Also that there was considerable abrasion of the cuticle. The judge looked at the Doctor and says,—"I suppose you mean that the prosecuting witness had a black eye." "Yes said the Doctor. "Well" says the judge, "why did'nt you say so then."

GREAT EASTERN MENAGERIE, Muslim, AVIARY AND CIRCUS.—'This meritorious exhibition, whish has been creating a furore in Cincinnati and Louisville, will visit us on the afternoon and night of May 7. The indorsement of the press where it has been, is unqualified. Read the following, from the CourierJournal of the 13th:

The tents of the Great Eastern Circus were crowded yesterday, for both afternoon and evening performances, 5,967 tickets having been sold at'night. The balloon ascension was omitted yesterday, on account of the unpropitious state of the weather,, but will be made this afternoon, promptly at one o'clock. The time should be borne in mind also, this afternoon, exactly at two o'clock, half an hour beforethe regular performance commences, Herr Lingel will enter the den of lion and tigers, putting those beasts through their wonderful feats. There are many "features in this large circns and menagrie which are worthy of particular .mention— the cage ot lions and tigers, the lioness and her four whelps, the two camels, the bears, elephant, et id omne genus. In the circus, the trapeze performance is very wonderful, while the horse "Lone Star," under the training of the plucky Miss Emma Lake, went through all his attractive feats to admirable advantage. The acrobatic feats are excellent, the clowns amusing and the display of horsemanship varied and interesting. The exhibition, altogether, is well worth patronage, and the immense crowd, of last night, repeating the great Sssemblage of the afternoon, testified to the satisfaction which the performance had given. The two added features of this afternoon's performance—the balloon ascension and the entrance of Herr Lingel into the deu of beasts—will furnish novelty sufficient to attract another large crowd. This evening's advertised.

The Wages of.Sin.

Chas. F. Lee, Thomas Grady. John' Trump, William Robinsou (beg pardon of William, he didn't want his name to appear iu the uewpapers,) Adam Trump, James Ferguson and Jessie Francis were all properly dealt with before His Honor the Mayor this morning, on a charge in each case of associating with prostitutes. Some paid, others stayed, aud yet others now pensively pine in the full enjoyment of station house quarters. Clarinda Blair, Ann Baston and Jeanuette Parsons were also properly dealt with by the same tribunal on a charge of being inmates of a house of illfame. Quite a harvest of the violators of decency and municipal law, we should say all, we believe, from "Hollow Square." Pat. White and John M. Janneux were fined, the first on charge of drunk and disorderly conduct, and the latter on a charge of permitting persons to become drunk. The same was discharged on the charge of keeping a disorderly house.

SCRIBNEK'S Monthly for May again favors us with its friendly visits,and having taken a new departure for the better as announced in another Column, is even more welcome to the GAZETTE sanctum tha^ hitherto—always a favorite. We consider Scribner's one of the most meritorious literary publications which graces our American literature—noted the world over for its literary men and women*and the real worth of its literary publications. No American home is complete without Scribner's.

THE Interior, the organ of the Presbyterian denomination in. Chicago and throughout the West, having, in a recent number, expressed the opinion that the Republican party had outlived its usefulness, that President Grant had .failed to accomplish wbarhe was expected to perform, and that the Cincinnati movement was a hopeful sign for the country, some of the organs of the office-holders have been taking it to task for heresy, to whom it replies:

Oar reply to such journals as seek to array party prejudices again the Interior for candid, and absolutely unpartisan, expressions upon the political situation, shall be brief. The moral status of our Government for the next four years will be* determined within the next two months. When conventions have met, adopted their platforms, aud nominated their candidates, it is too late. It is the duty of every Christian patriot, and especially of the Christian press, now to use every lawful means within their grasp to resist a downward plunge, and to compel the great political parties to commit themselves, in men and measures, to purity, justice and righteousness. American politics and statesmanship should be, as they can be, and, if we preserve our national integrity and prosperity, must be, elevated to the plane of Christian morality and charity. The Gospel cannot, and will not, recognize the caucus and the political convention either as neutral grounds or impregnable fastnesses, but will, in the end, either take possession of them br break them in pieces. The power is now in the hands of the Christian public to protect the national polities toward a goal of honor and renown unapproached by any nation in the world's history. Shall we make our power felt, or shall we float, like worthless driftwood, upon the eddying and uncertain tide?

Great Excitement at Madrid.

MADRID, April 22.—The Carlist campaign has been actively opened. A large number of revolutionists have taken the field under Don Carlos. This movement Against the Government has caused great excitement in this city. The revolutionary rising has been simultaneously accomplished in large numbers throughout Spain and iu the neighborhood of Barcelona and other cities, the movement is of sufficient strength to cause the authorities apprehensions of danger. It is also stated that the Carlists are massed in great numbers at Toledo and Naslates,'under the command ofPrusts. Every preparation has been made by the Government for a contingency. Railways are held iu readiness for the transportation of troops to war and material, if rendered necessary.

NEW YORK, April 2&.—The members of the different German riflemens' organizations in this city are engaged in preparations to attend the fourth German National Sbarpshooting Festival, which will come off in the city of Hanover, in June next. At a meeting held in the city of Brooklyn yesterday, a committee was appointed to negotiate with the steamship company for an excursion to Germany. A general meeting of these organizations will be held in a few d&ys to further the movement.

The jury in the case of Mrs. Fanny Hyde, on trial for the murder of George W. Watson, after being out twenty-four hours, were discharged yesterday morning, the foreman of thejury having stated that there was not the slightest prospect of an agreement. Mrs. Hyde's counsel will apply this morning for her release on bail. 5JEW YORK, April 22.—Governor Hoffman, who has been in the city for several days past, left for Albany last evening.

Large numbers of offenses, most of them of minor character, caused by excessive use of intoxicating liquors", occurred yesterday and last night, the most serious of which was that of Edward Reilly who was badly beaten during a fight last night iu Ninth avenue. His injuries, principally about his head, are thought to be fatal. His assailant, named Jordan, has escaped.

NEW YORK, April 22.—The Herald of this morning devotes considerable space to an article regarding the present political situation, in which it reviews the course of the Democratic party since 1869, and the action taken by several Democratic leaders in the various campaigns, and. considers it to be safe to predict that in view of the nominations which will be made at the Cincinnati Convention, that on the 8th of May next Belmont and his committee will issue their call for a Democratic Convention, and for the appointment of delegates thereto from all the States, and that this Convention, in order to maintain the party organization, will nominate a Democratic ticket of a new departure, and go over entirely to the Cincinnati Convention. This the Herald contends is the only alternative offered the Democrats, which does not involve the dissolution of their party.

The Times' Washington special says there is no reason why Congress should not adjourn by the 1st of June, unless the tariff legislation should consume much more time than is generally expected. The Senate has only the civil rights and amnesty bills in its cailender beside the remaining appropriation bill, which will not cause any protracted debate.

There is 450 British and only 20 American claims filed with the American Commissi on, which will adjourn early this week to meet in the latter of June or be* fore the expiration of the three months allowed last March as an extension of time within which the claims may be filed. Only two Commissioners will then be present, but they will receive the claims and then adjourn until September. Our Commissioner will leave this country for England on the 26th inst. and is not expected back before. September.

NEW YORK, April 22.—The Tribune's Washington special says it is reported that Secretary Fish will send to Congress to-day, .a copy of the American counter case. The document is devoted entirely to answering the positions taken in the British ease, without raising any new questions or referring any way to the claims for indirect damage. It was wholly prepared by J. C. Bancroft Davis and Mr. Bennison, and it is reported that certain passages are little calculated to allay public indignation, which has been arousad in England by the publication of our American case.

WASHINGTON, April 22.—The President has received a long dispatch frota Secretory Delano, dated Mustague, Indian jerritory, April 20, confirming the reported murder of U. S. officers a few days since. The Secretary recommends the organization of a District Court for the Territory at once, without which law or order caunot be enforced.

He*says that much of the the Indian country is produced by desperate white men. He telegraphed to the Secretary of War to have a squad of infantry stationed there to expel these men. The President referred Mr. Delano's message to the Chairman of Judiciary Committee of the Senate and to the House Chairman of the Committee on Indian Affairs.
