JUVENILES, as they pass along the corner of Ohio and Fifth streets, gaze in admiration and wonder at the manner in •which the great Eastern bear clings to the bill boards where stuck by Dishon.

IT is reported a small volume of poems entitled "The Song of the Sewer," will soon be issued from the press by Jerome C. Burnett, Esq. The work is intended as a parody on Bryant's "Song of the Sower," is said to possess rare literary merit.—Ind. Eve. Journal.

THE county Treasurer and his associates are just finishing up writing out the delinquent list, which will foot up from $75,000 to $80,000! What an awful record it is to be.sure, and what a reckoning in the hereafter.

AUDITOR ROYSE and his assistants are busy as bumble bees in making out tax lists for State, county and township, all separately, the rate of per cent, varying in the case of each, which makes the work very extensive and laborious.

WE understand that the sales of Foster Brothers, for the month of April, were nearly double those of the corresponding month of last year. This is one of the most reliable firms in the State, and richly deserves such a large and liberal patronage.

JOHN E. WILKINSON, in a card to the Journal this morning, positively declines to be a candidate for city Councilman on the Democratic ticket, alleging lack of time to devote to the discharge of the important and responsible duties incident to the position.

THE "Terre Hautentots" are waging a wir of extermination against the writer of "Town Talk" in the Mail. They believe in personal journalism, but they think: "there is a point beyond which forbearance ceases to be a virtue." The Miil is a fine paper, and it is a pity its columns should he marred by the indiscretion of one of its contributors.—Ind. Mirror.

R. R. RKID, of the bouse of Louis Snider, Cincinnati, dropped in on us this morning, looking as happy as a "clam at high tide." After hisexplanations we could not blame him, as he was married last evening to Miss Anna J. White, of Cincinnati, and is going West on a wedding.tour. Success, "Bob," to you and yours.

THE firm of Fonts, Hunter & Thompson are not only doing a heavy business in stock

OUR usually good humored friends of Paris are awful mad, and refuse to be comforted. All this because, as they allege, gave $50,000 toward the construction of the Areola & Decatur Railroad, aud the "big feelin" folks of the town of Areola "unfeelinly" passed through their prosperous village and celebrated at Terre Haute. 'Tis sad."

IT is'now rumored that a joint stock association is being fornied to purchase the Journal establishment, and that said formation will eventuate in the going out of W. P.

Latest from the Convention. Too late for our editorial columns, we receive a special from the chief, dated Cincinnati, which will be found at the head of the telegraph columns. Our special is confident the nomination will be made to-morrow by the harmonious action of the Convention, and that either Trumbull, Davis or Adams will be chosen to represent the great Liberal Republican upheaval of public sentiment in the pending canvass. All these are unswerving patriots one a truly great statesman one a worldrenowned diplomatist and the other a a distinguished member of the highest and ablest judicial bench the world has ever known. Either represents a powerful influence on the political destinies of the nation, in their present capacities. As the standard bearerof a party clamoring for such a needed reform as is the great central object of the assemblage of the Cincinnati Convention, either must carry with him the great popular voice of the Republic, which cries loudly for reform in high places. We await with high hopes the final action of the Convention now assembled in the Queen City of the West.

GARFOTED.—The boldest and most successful "garroting" of the season, occurred yesterday on the Indianapolis & St. Louis express which left this city at 9:15 yesterday morning. Whilethe train was lying at the little station of Terre Haute, some miles west of here, it was boarded by two ruffians hailing from Vigo county, who immediately garroted and robbed an old gentleman named Hyte, of his gold watch and eleven dollars in money. Mr. H. is a citizen of the village named, and was a member of the party about to proceed on the way to welcome the Paris & Decatur Railway excursion. Mayor Thomas, who was formerly Chief of Police and Town Marshal of Terre Haute, was in the coach at the time of the outrage, but failed to. comprehend matters until after the robbers had made good their escape.—Ind. Sentinel.

TREASURER SANKEY, yesterday, enjoyed the pleasure of a railroad ride through his own farm. Tbis on a train of the Cincinnati & Terre Haute road, which will run into Lockport to-day, about six or seven miles southeast of here. Sankey says the road is being rapidly and durably constructed and that when completed it will be in fine condition for a new road, which will benefit the country through which it passes immeasurably.

THE graud complimentary benefit tertdered Miss Fanny Kellogg, by the leading citizens of Council Blufl's, will probably take place next week. The day is not yet determined, but the arrangements have so far progressed that it is safe to assume that the concert will be given in the course of four or five days. The people are waiting anxiously for the promised opportunity to listen to Miss Kellogg, and there will be a wonderful scramble for tickets, as but a portion of those desirous of attending can be crowded Into any of our halls.—Council Bluffs (Iowa) Nonpareil.

THE Indianapolis Sentinel says that at the State Prison South there are 401 male and 20 male convicts confined at the present time. There are about 350 confined at the State Prison North, making a total of 770 for the State. The firm of Hall, Semple & Co., will vacate the prison about the firstof June. The whole force of the prison labor will then be employed by the Southwestern Car Works Company.

AN Attorney asked leave of the C. P. Court this morning for time to make an affidavit for continuance, and wanted more than an hour, the time allowed by the rules of the Court. Col. Baird the opposing counsel suggested that it would take the learned counsel on the other side two weeks to make an affidavit sufficient for the continuance on the facts in the case.

A CORRESPONDENT whose communication appears in another column, asks us a conundrum about a certain class of young men of this city. Though we are a young man we cau't answer the quaint questions there propounded. We have often profoundly meditated on some of the tame, though self propounded queries, without arriving at any conclusion satisfactory to ourselves.

Miss JANAUSCHEK was at the St. Charles Theatre, New Orleans, last week. She acted "Hortenso" and "Lady Dedlock,"iu "Chesney Wold"—the "Rleak House" drama—and it is stated by a local paper, apparently as a fact of consequence, that she wore jewels valued at $130,000. Last Sunday niutht J-uiausnhek played "Lady Macbeth."—N. Y. Tribune.

This gifted tragedienne will appear at the Opera House, this city, on the 13th and 14th of \y.

CONSOLIDATED.—We learu that the job office of the Mail has concluded to change locations, and have united with the Express. This makes a strong firm, with seven partners, and adds another job office to the two or three old ones already owned by the Express Company. The firm name is Allen, Smith, Henderson, Seaman, English, Carr, Cliftou &Co.

Honor to Whom Honor is Due. City Editor of GazetteIn your issue of yesterday you state that Mr. Danaldson is talked of as a cauditate for the office of County Clerk, aud that iu nominating him the Republican party can have an opportunity of rewardinga young soldier, if it is inclined. This is right and just, if it did not disparage the claims of others.

Are you aware that there is already announced for that office the name of a worthy citizen aud au "old" soldier in the persou of Captaiu T. C. Buntiu, who, when past the age that the law could have required him to serve, volunteered aud left his home and busiuess soon after the first gun was fired, and remained iu the field until the close of the war. Captain B. is fully qualified and has lived among us for more than a quarter of a century, eiyoying in the highest degree the confidenoe of his fellow-citizens, and now, for the first time, aake at the Otitis «f bis frieags ao Office.

[Special to Evening Gazette.]

CINCINNATI, May 1.—The convention assembled to-day splendidly. The general dispatches will give you the officers. I have attended many National Conven tions, but never witnessed one so large, so filled with enthusiasm, so determined with a great purpose, and so made up of representative and influential meu, as this one.

So far, it is a glorious success, and everything indicates harmony to-mor-row. More than one thousand of the delegates are from Indiana, mauy of them the oldest and most influential Republicans of the State. The Convention will harmonize on Trumbull, Davis or Adams. Each State has its preference, but all will be satisfied with either of the above three. Throw out your banners on the outer walls, for the ticket is under that banner that will conquer.

R. X. H.

[American Press Dispatches.]

CINCINNATI, Mayl.—The liberal Republican Convention met at Exposition Hall, elegantly decorated for the occa sion, at noon. Long before the hour fixed for the meeting the streams of pedestrians and long lines of hacks from the center of the city were moving toward the liall. At half past 11 o'clock the spacious hall was comfortably filled at noon the seats and lobbies were crowded and thousands outside were crowding the approaches and seeking i^ vain for admission. There were 8,000 people in the hall and the enthusiasm was unbounded.

At noon, Col. Wm. Grosvenor, Chairman of the Executive Committee, called the convention to order, and followed with a speech, iu which he gave the history of the general movement and the objects attained. He felt that while the convention has called for a consultation it would take such action as would insure a triumph of the principles of reform next November. The convention, he felt assured, would waive preferences and act solely on convictions of duty and principle. [Great applause.]

He coucludcd by introducing Stanley Matthews, temporary chairman. Mr. Matthews said he believed the assembly would mark an era in the political history of the country. The occasion and circumstances or special thoughts which he would venture to suggest would not assume the role of prophet. No man could tell what will be the result. There are some things, however, that could be safely affirmed in respect to this Convention, mainly things to be pressed above all others. That time has come when the American people say they will not wear color or party. We are assembled as Republicans. The Speaker briefly referred to the past history of that party. Its object had been accomplished in the establishment of the principle of unity and equal rights of all men for this, it will receive approval for this and subsequent generations as Republicans. We can not continue in the party that we want just and honest men. The Speaker here referred to the preliminary work of the convention and had faith in the principles of the gentlemen comprising the convention.

Col. Grosvenor offered a resolution that the convention meet again at 10 o'clock to-EUorrow, and meantime each State select delegates to represent them. A motion to adjourn was put, wh(a some one started to cry Schurz, which was taken up aud roared from all parts of the hall. A scene of great enthusiasm followed, the delegates mouuting seats, swinging their hats and calling at the top of their voice until Schurz appeared.

He made a brief speech, in which he advised them to work instead of speech making, concludiug by seconding a motion to adjourn, in spite of loud and repeated calls of go on, go on. The Chairman iu the midst of noise-and enthusiasm pronounced the convention as adjourned until 10 o'clock to-morrow.

NEW YORK, May 1.—A torchlight procession and serenade was given by Allemeinda Sfegerbund and Liederkranz Society, Friday night, in honor of the Franz Abt, the celebrated Berlin composer, who has arrived here from Europe.

Wm. Burau, a German, died yesterday afternoon, from the effects of a wound inflicted by James Coyle, Gallagher and Michaels, during a row in the liquor saloon of J. G. A. Honkruech, 210 Delany street, Sunday morning last. Coyle and Gallagher are under arrest.

A brilliant musicial reception last night, at the house of Dr. R. O. Do rem us, closed the social life of Miss Nilsson in America for the present. The famous opera company of Carl Rosa, including Wachtel, Donelly and Phillips, gave their last public performance in the Academy of Music to a bumper house last night, previous to her departure from the United 8tates.

The World this morning, under the caption of "A last word to the Cincinnati Convention," says: We protest against tie impertinence of a clique of Democratic Cangressmen in attempting to control the Cincinnati Convention in the interest of Jtidge Davis,' and their denunciation of

ment in entire independence of this intriguing cabal. It has been our settled wish that the Cincinnati Convention should not act or appear to act under any sort of Democratic desires. It again points to Adams as the candidate best qualified for successfully contesting the re-election of Grant, and claims that he is the most perfect contrast to Grant that has been named in connection with the Cincinnati Convention.

The Times, editorially, has little to say on the subject of the Convention this morning. It thinks the movement which was to be the consultation of the Republicans to insure reform at the hands of the Republican party, has degenerated into a squabble of political hacks over the nomination. Elsewhere it states that there is ouly one class of men in the Convention deserving of respect, and these are revenue reformers such as Wells, Atkinson and Horace White.

The Herald thinks that if the President has carefully observed the Cincinnati movement, he mustsee the time has come for a flank movement. It says, however, much we may dispose and condemn the movement, it must be behind a public opinion which cannot be disposed of, and cau elect Gen. Grant, we are confident, against any ticket but there are mistakes to be corrected, burdens to be removed, &c. Above all, we need a new foreign policy, where lies our principal weakness.

It thinks the recent blunders in this respect, especially with regard to the treaty with England, renders an immediate withdrawal of Fish from the Cabinet necessary. It strongly reccommends the selection of E. B. Washburne for the vacancy which is thus created, and believes bis services would be of incalcuable benefit to the Presidential party and country, in this the present emergency.

BROOKLYN, May 1.—The Bay flour mill on Hamilton avenue, adjoining the Gowanus canal, was destroyed by fire at midnight on Monday. Wilson & Co. were the owners. Loss $7,000, partly insured. [Special Dispatch to the Indianapolis Sentinel.]

CINCINNATI, April 30.—The Indiana delegation met this afternoon, with Mr. Julian in the chair, and after adopting the Missouri call as a basis of organization, made the following selections:

Vice President of the Convention from Iudiana—George W. Julian. Delegates at Large—Colonel C. M. Allen, Morgan H. Weir, Colonel J. B. Gray, Colonel T. N. Stillwell, Colonel R. N. Hudson and Alexander Metz^er.

First District—Albert Steinbeck, W. Ray Gardner. Second—F. C. Johnson, J.C. Martin.

Third—Colonel John S. Scobey, R. L. Davis. Fourth—Major Kinley, A. L. Ogg.

Fifth—Colonel W. R. Harrison, John H. Holliday. Sixth—Colonel W. E. McLean, John D. Thompson.

Seventh—John Lawsher, W. F. Elston. Eighth—Hon. W. W. Couuer, Judge T. E. Whitesides.

Ninth—David W. Chambers, Thomas H. James. Tenth—Francis P. Griffith, G. G. Glatte.

Eleventh—Gustave Meiners, James Forrester. A resolution was adopted instructing the chairman to Appoint a committee of one from each district to call a State Convention to orgauize the party.

A resolution was adopted instructing the delegates to vote for Cassius M. Clay for permanent Presideut of the Convention.

A resolution declaring Adams the first choice aud instructing the delegates to vote for him, was introduced, but withdrawn to avoid ^ill-feeling. The temper of the meeting indicated that it would have passed, if pressed, by a decided majority.

The delegates met to-night and chose Col. Alleu Chairman of the delegation M. H. Weir, a member of the Committee on Permanent Organization Judge Whitesides, a member'of the Committee on Resolutions Col. Gray, a member of the National Executive Committee Secrectary of the Convention from Indiana, Col. McLean.

The general outlook is more confused than last night. There is an immense number of Davis meu here, but chiefly from central Illinois. Few of the dele-

fndiana

ates have decided what they will do. will split badly on the first vote. Missouri aud Oregon are solid for Brown, but the former is not disposed to make trouble. Iowa and a majority of Illinois are for Davis. Maine is either for Davis orTrumbulh Kansas will give a majority for Trumbull. Virginia favors Greeley, but the delegates are not instructed. Michigan is solid for Adams. Greeley stock seems to be rising rapidly, while Adams declines, aud the frieuds of Davis are frittering away hisstreugtb. There are large numbers of persons who think the contest between Adams and Davis will be so close that a third man will be ruii, and if not Greeley, then J. D. Cox will be the coming man. Great stress is laid on Greeley's strength iu the South, while in behalf of Cox, it is alleged that he was the originator of the present Reform Convlution movement.

The question to-night is the .following resolution, which David A. Wells proposes to present iu the convention:

JResolved, That the best form of Federal taxation is that which will yield the necessary revenue with the least expenses and the least iuterference with the business of the people, and that that amount of revenue ouly is necessary which will pay the expenses of the Government, economically administered, the peusions, the interest of the public debt and its principal within a reasonable period.

The friends of Chase held an informal meeting to-night, and it is stated they will bring his name before the Convention. Late and reliable accounts say that hi9 health is completely restored, and his friends claim for him considerable strength in the Convention.

A CLEAER swindler has just been brought to grief in London. He established a "British Literary Agency," and advertised for mauuscripts, promislug, on receipt of a certain sum, to have a number of copies of each made and sent to one publisher after another, until the article at last attained the immortality of print. In the first forty-eight hours, 496 manuscripts reached the "British Literary Agency." Then the police visited its headquarters, and found that the Board of Managers, the President, the Secretary, the Treasurer, and the mighty staff of copyists, clerks, etc., of which the advertisements boasted, were all represented, and indeed, comprised, in the person of one rogue, who now lies in prison, awaiting bis trial for obtaining money on false pretence?. The manuscripts were

To Young Men.

City Editor Evening Gazette: As I am of an inquiring turn of mind, just at this time, and believe you to be able to give us some good and reliable information iu regard to our inquiries of certain persons and things. Iu the first place, I wish to know why so many of our young men in this city, lead the lawless and profligate life thev do? Are they not surrounded with all the comforts and conveniences which home and friends are capable of giving them? Have they not enjoyed the high privileges and advantages of our very best educational institutions, both at home and abroad, which doubtle«s have made them capable of holding honorable positions in society, and responsible offices in the pift of their fellow citizens. But alas! how are they rewardinar the kindness, anxiety and care of doatinar parents and persevering guardians and destroying the fond hopes of the ones to whom they have plighted vows of constancy and Uprightness of action, chaste and temperate in conversation and habit. They have belied every promise of good and forsaken every virtue. They have torn asunder the ties of once happy home circles and desolated the hopes of fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers. Bv their inconsistancy of promise and life they have embittered the hearts of those fair ones to whom, above all others, thev declared ever to be faithful and true. Thev fold their pastor, too, on the day of confirmation, that they never give over the struggle to overcome their, desire to do evil. But, alas, for all human expectations, those promises of virtue and vows of constancy, the hopes of friends and hearts of loved ones have all alike gone down to the bitterness of despair, while they live only to see the objects of all their sorrows day after day becoming more and more degraded. Lost to all pride and self-respect, they eease to hide their shameful course from any one at all.

O, young man, for the sake of yourself, pause in that hellish career, and look back on the day of promise, and behold how you have kept your vows. Would you try to escape the certain doom, to which your present course is rushing you on with lightning speed? You must break at once the demon's chain which binds yon now in its fascinating toils—strong drink. This is one great cause of your lawlessness and profligacy. There are others. But, why, young men, do you seek them. Can you give any reason why, which has the shadow of excuse? I think not.

J. MAUDE.

Terre Haute, April 29.

TERRE HAUTE wants a public park. We should think that there was country enough in and around twon—in fact, that Terre Haute is rural enough already.

The above we find in the editorial columns of the Fort Wayne Sentinel, and for the information of the writer, we will state that Terre Haute is too full of business to devote necessary time and space for a park.

A Doomed City.

The Chicago Times says: "Lloyd Tevis is the somewhat odd name of a fortunate gentleman who is now the owner in fee simple of the entire city of Sacrameuto. His property in the tract rests upon one of the "Sutter titles," and recently, without attracting much attention he has prosecuted the claim, and procured a judgment in his favor. In accordance with this judgment, the court has issued anj order directing the Sheriff' to eject all persons now trespassing upon the tract. As these trespassers embrace the whole population of that city, it is obvious that the Sheriff has a task of considerable dimensions before him. The duty is especially unpleasant in view of the fact that after he has removed all the other inhabitants, he will be obliged to oust himself. When the officer of the law has done his work, and Mr. Tevis and Sacramento become synonymous terms, it will be strange if he is not elected Mayor—to say nothing of the rest of the city officers.

IT is feared that the reckless Herald correspondent who has been exploring the African jungles in quest of Dr. Livingstone has met an untimely and tragic end. An enormous crocodile was captured in one of the African streams last mouth, and, being cut open, the stomach of the brute was found to contain a quantity of bones, a wallet full of pawn tickets, an oreide watch, and some half hundred weight of manuscripts, of which the natives deciphered enough to feel certain that they were letters to the Herald. It is very sad.
