LAURA REAM says Andy Johnson is sad. —Cin. Com.
Well, Laura possesses the power to make him very happy. Why does she not emigrate to Tennessee,and lay all her charms at the feet of the old widower?
THE
New York depress has a table
showing the probabilities at the Baltimore Convention. It says, in summing up, the whole number of vote3 at Baltimore is 732 two-thirds 488. The Liberal element already has 130 votes over two-thirds, and the Liberal programme will be adopted on the first ballot."
TIIH
New York World is being rapidly
swept into the Greeley whirlpool. For a time, it struggled against the current with desperation. But at last it found resistance useless, and lately it has been going round and round in away which indicates its speedy engulfment. Now it cries out: "Democrats do not want Greeley but if forced into a necessity of choosing between him and Grant they may perhaps be at last brought to vote for him not that they dislike Greeley less but Grant more."
This is really quite pathetic. How is it with our "Jeemes" of the Journal, this morning? He will soon be the last of the Bourbons. In a few days his party will be himself—his candidate for the Presidency, "Nix"—his political friends the "Printing House" establishment and Company. Oh Jeemes, Jeemes, why is this thusly?
City Library.
The gift of Mr. Rose of one of the new rooms in the O'Boyle Block, and $5,000 additional, for a city Library, is a generous one. We suppose the required $10,000 will be readily raised. The two sums together including the building, will tuake a property of about $30,000.
It is unfortunate that the building is not better adapted for the purpose intended.
A
library should be build spe
cially, with an abundance of light and ventilation. This room, however, may be made to answer the purpose reasonably well, by taking out the third floor and putting the third and fourth stories into one, and covering it with a skylight. This will give the necessary amount of light, and can be done without much expense in the present unfinished stage of the building. We cannot see how it can be made to suit the purpose of a public library, in any other waj7.
We hope our citizens will subscribe the $10,000, and so arrange the room given by Mr. Rose that it will be fit for the purpose intended.
Trumbull's Speech.
To the exclusion of our usual variety, we present our readers to-day with the great, speech of Senator Trumbull, recently delivered at Springfield, Illinois. It will pay the most careful and attentive perusal. It is full of important facts which the people ought to know. It is from a Senator of the United States, who makes public some of the secret and corrupt acts of the Senatorial Ring that controls the President, which are indeed startling and alarming. We would be glad to hear our Indiana Senators answer the Senator from Illinois. If what Senator Trumbull says is true, then no honest man can have any respect for the men who compose the "ring" of which he speaks. If what hesays is not true, then some Senators should be quick with an explanation.
There are damaging things spoken of ^he Administration in this speech of a mau whose honor, integrity, and truthfulness was never questioned, and the people will be apt to believe them, coming from so high and honorable a source. Read the speech.

Soineihing New.
M. F. Teague and G. Van Wagenen, of Indianapolis, are in the city, selling terrl~ torial and shop rights,of a patent improvement in breast collars for horses. The latter gentleman's father invented the article while a resident of.Pittsburgh, receiving his patent April 2, 1872. The contrivance is an excellent one, and should be indispensible to every persoh who owns a carriage and horses. By the use of thi£ im provement the breast and neck of the animals are never scarred, but, on the contrary, are kept free from galling and chaffing, in hot weather. Fouts & Ilun ter, and first-class horse men," all over the country, who have examined and tested the article, pronounce it the best thing of the kind ever invented Mr. league is an experienced gentleman in this line of businees, and, we under stand, ha3 charge of the sale of territory State and county, all over the country, The valuable invention could not be in better hands.
STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.
President Jones Vindicated. Editor Terre Haute Gazette: Our community ^as somewhat surprised, and the informed not a little indignant, at an article which appeared in your issue of Thursday of last week oyer the signature of "Bono." The writer, evidently to gratify some personal pique, attacked the business management of the President of our State Normal School, and by this means would seek to cripple the present use fulness and to destroy the future good prospects of an institution in which the citizens of Indiana and particularly the people of our pleasant little city, feel a just and commendable pride.
In the first place, let us see if "Bono" knows exactly what he is talking about. Are his "facts" true? Upon authority, therefore, I deny that, taking the history ,of Normal schools, ours will compare unfavorably with any institution of a like kind, and of the same number of years, ever established in the country. "Bono" says the Illinois school has from seven to eight hundred pupils. If correctly informed, Illinois, a State in wealth and population nearly one-third larger than ours, had to struggle for years with but a few pupils —perhaps for the first two years you could have counted them on the ends of your fingers and in the array of numbers which he so exultiugly parades before the public, he should know they are made up not alone from Normal students proper, but are also largely taken from the model schools, which embraces the primary, intermedin ate and high school departments. As to the school in Ohio, I take pleasure in informing "Bono" that this is not a State institution—is au enterprise gotten up by a private gentleman, Mr. Holbrook, where each scholar pays weekly one dollar for what he gets. For the institution in Kansas I have but little to say, because I know but little, yet I have no doubt could all the facts in the case be had, it would greatly modify the statement made by "Bono." I will, however, remark that inatead of its being but two years, as stated by "Bono," it is at least seven years old. And how does "Bono" know but that the two hundred students of which he boasts, many of them like the schools in Illinois, made up from the model schools. For my own part I believe they are.
Yet as the animus of "Bono's" article can be clearly seen, which, as I have already said, was to gratify some petty personal spite, without dragging the private and family matters of the President before the public, I will state for the further information of "Bono," and also "probono publico," that when President Jones was called to the office he now occupies, he was a citizen of Indiana, remained here some time, but that owing sickness in his family, connected with a severe and paiuful bereavement, solely for the health of his afflicted family, he took them to Missouri, and at the sacrifice of home and thecomforts of home, he has persistently staid with the school in Terre Haute, perhaps being absent only once—for three or four days and that when Bono says he was absent at any time for days, or a»day, after the beginning of any "school year," he states that which is simply untrue. On the contrary, he was here several days before the commencement of every year. Injured and grieved Bono, would you, could you have done better
I will alt'o remark to sensitive Bono, that, to the. writer's certain knowledge, after the Board had unanimously refused to accept the resignation of the President, and after a petition had been circulated, signed by all the^students in the Normal School, to keep him at the head of the institution, he has remained here several days for the purpose of purchasing a residence convenient to our city, that like Bono he might have some of the comforts of life aud familjT around him.
There are men, Mr. Editor, possessed of very little souls,—who, with microscopic vision, look only to small and comparatively triflng things. They see, always, the "motes" in the eyes of their betters. Such people are always cut aud dried for a fuss, and as they can't have matters to suit them, must continue to live in a quarrel. In other words, marplots. With such creatures I have but very little to do and never stop to notice them, except when they come forward in a way to annoy and distract the public, and you will therefore excuse me on this occasion for stepping out of my usual course to vindicate, through your paper, the administrative conduct of a gentleman of the highest culture a scholar of the profoundest learning an educator unsurpassed, and in fine, a pure, elevated, and christian gentleman one who not only adorns the institution over which he has been called upon to preside, but who, at the same time, to those who best, is a credit to the citizens of 1 erre Haute and the State in which he lived. vVhen I see such a man assaulted by Bono, I am inclined to exclaim: Darwin, thou reasonest WEL1-" TOM. TICKLE. N. B.—Oue word more for Bono: Were we to count, or rather blow the number of our Normal School pupils, and count them as Bono has counted for Illinois, and include iu the number our model and high schools, in place of one hundred and fifty-three, as given by Bono, the figures would place us at four hundred,

A Chicago Law-Snit.
Lawyer. You know the plaintiff? I do. What do you know of his
Witness. Lawyer,
character? Witness, man.
Lawyer
I know him to be a sojuare
How do you know him to be
a good man? Witness. Because when there is any good to be doue, he is always 'round.
Lawyer. Ah! he is, eh? Now will you teil the jury the shape of that hole the plaintiff swears he fell down.
Witness. Yes, sir it was a round hole. Lawyer. That will do, sir.
The counsel for the defense made a stirring speech. It stirred even me. Says he: "May it please the court, gentlemen of the jury, I call upon you to render me a verdict without so much as leaving your seats. The witness just examined is the only witness that can be produced by the plaintiff the only one to sustain him in his dastardly attempt to defraud my client of his bard earned wealth. He has the audacity to stand up in opeu court, an object of scorn to all honest raen reptile devoid of truth, and, I proclaim it boldly a perjurer. This man, gentlemen, has the audacity to stand up here and swear before this iutellisieut jurj' that he has known the plaintiff for years, and has always known him to be a square man! With the very next breath this cheat, this fraud, this infamous scoundrel tells you that he is a round man! Now, gentlemen, mark well this point. You all know that the wirness swore, standing up there in the witness box, that the hole the plaintiff fell through was a round one and I ask you gentlemen, how iu the name of heaven, could a square man fall through a round hole Again, gentlemen, the plaintiff swore that he saw stars, although the thing is said to have happened at noon. The thing is preposterous. In the words of the immortal Socrates, "It's too tlrin!' "Look, gentlemen, into the face of that mother clasping a babe to her breast. See the tears trickle down her cheeks. She is the wife of the defende'nt and tell me, geutlemen, does, she look like the wife of a man who owns a round coal hole for a square man to fall through Look at the plaintiff gentlemen. Guilt is written all over him. No wouder he quivers and quakes when he sees the just vengence of the law about to fall and crush him. Gentlemen, I dm done. Give me your verdict, and let right triumph over wrong?"
Iu five minutes the jury returned a verdict of constructive arsou against the plaintiff.—"John" in N. Y. Sun.
An Eagle Tries to Kidnap a Child. Tales of children being carried off by eagles have bedti told often but nearly every one has regarded such stories as mere inventions of fancy but it appears, according to the Hudson (N. Y.) Register, such an attempt was made by a monster eagle, quite recently, in the town of Copake, Columbia county, N. Y. It seems the family of Jacob Decker lives near Upper Rhoda Lake, two miles west of Copake village. Their little daughter, three years of age, was standing, prattling in the door-yard, when her unusual merriment attracted the attention of the mother. The latter went to the door, and was almost paralyzed with fear at discovering an enormous eagle sailing around the child in graceful eddies, each circuit bringing it nearer its victim. Quickly comprehending the situation, she rushed from the door and clasped her darling in her arms. While carrying the child to the house the eagle hotly contested the right of possession, and twice approached near enough to the child to touch its flowing hair with its beak. But Mrs. Decker defended her child and succeeded in taking it to the house uninjured.
The next morning the winged monster again made its appearance, hovering closely around the house for some time and then perched itself upon an adjacent tree. The mother notified the neighbors, and a son of Mr. John D. Dinehart, aged about nineteen years, took his rifle arid sent a bullet through the head of the bird. It proved to be a splendid specimen of the American bald eagle, measuring six feet and six inches from tip to tip.
The Corpses of tlie Great. The embalming of Mazziui's body recalls the singular fate which has attended the remains of so many distinguished men. In fact, an extremely interesting volume might be made of the posthumous adventures of the bodies of those whose memory the world has sought to keep alive. There is but little doubt that the tombs, in the Pantheon at Paris, which contained the remaius of Voltaire and Rousseau, are now empty, having been rifled during oue of the periods of conservative reaction iu France. Milton's head is said to be in the possession of a private collector in London. So isCromwell's. Jeremy Bentham'sbody, by his direction, was stuffed, and dressed in his usual suit of clothes, with his hat on, his stick in his hand, and felted in his arm chair, is now preserved in a glass case. A few years ago there was sold at auction iu London what was said to be the head of Confucius, the Chinese sage. It was a skull mounted iu gold, and was said to have been taken by an English sailor from the summer palace in Pekin when that building was sacked. In Le Chemindes Eeoliers by Saintine there is an illustration by Dore, drawn with the imaginative realism of that artist, representing the skeleton of Charlemagne seated in his tomb at Aix-la-G'hapelle, with a crown upon his skeleton head and his bones wrapped in the imperial robes. This tomb was built by Charlemagne for himself and he was buried there. In 997, Otha III. had the tomb opened and found the skeleton as Dore had depicted it, seated upon the marble chair which is still shown to the curious. Otho found the body and the imperial robes much decayed, but, bowing respectfully before the remains of the great King, retired and had the doors sealed again. In 1165, however, they were opened again by Frederick Barbarossa, more for plunder than for curiosity. Having possessed himself of the treasures the tomb contained, he removed the skeleton aud distributed its fragments as relics, and the skull and some of the bones can still be seen in Aix-la-Chapelle, where, with other curiosities, they are shown for five francs a head.—From Our Monthly Gossip, in the July number of LipincoW8 Magazine.
MADAME PE^CHKA LEUTNER is reported to carry off the honors of the Boston Jubilee. Critics says they have rarely seeu a more signal success achieved by a new singer, and have rarely known applause to be more worthily bestowed. The immense spaces of the Colliseum do not absorb her penetrating voice, and though she seems to put forward no great effort, not a charm of her beautiful vocaliation is lost.
A SENSATIONAL writer thus alludes to "Hester," the heroine, iu one of her latest stories: "Hester came in with her bat on, and a light shawl thrown over her shoulders. She smile aa brightly on her lover as.if he bad been ail the world to her, and put up her lips to be kissed with the swoetest air of affection imaginable."
TERRE HAUTE, IND.: MONDAY AFTERNOON, JULY 1, 1872. NO. 26
A New Weapon for Duelists. Dueling isan amusement which without the aid of a little care and ingenuity, is apt to become tiresoraely monotonous and commonplace. Excessive pugnacity, indeed, for reasons which science might readily determine, seems often to be accompanied by lack of imagination. Duelists, at least, are for the most part shockingly deficient in invention. Of the eternal small sword or the not less inevitable pistol, the reader of dueling literature grows at last inexpressibly weary. In the South, to be sure, an agreeable diversity is sometimes attained by the use of the double-barrelled shot gun but the sport, under such circumstances, partakes too much of the nature of a "grand battue" to be altogether acceptable to refined tastes. What is wanted to enliven tlie diversion is a little well regulated scorn of conventionality, like that of the Yankee Lieutenant at Cadiz in 1812, who, being challenged by a number of Spanish officers, proposed to fight them with carronades. The Western gentleman who, iu like case, chose for his weapon a basket of eggs, at twenty paces, each party to advance firing until the amuuition was exhausted, is also to be credited with a pleasant innovation
Actuated, perhaps by a similar spiii two Parisian journalists have struck aside from the beaten track of French dueling, and not long since fought a bat tie in tlie Rue Montmartre with umbrel las. Their names, deserving of honora hie celebrity, are M. M. Ratisbonne and Albert Rogat. No blood seems to have been spilled, and the only bones broken were those of the umbrellas. But honor was appeased, aud the combatants retired at the close of the engagement with the sweet assurances of profound consideration and the applause of the admiring town.
The precedent of this novel engagement we commend to all bellicose persous more jealous of honor than thirsty ofblood. A little ingenuity would adapt the new weapon to all the requirements of gentlemanly satisfaction. Thus sliding scale of fierceness -might be adjusted to offences of various degrees of enormity by simply altering the value of the umbrella. In a trifling quarrel an alpaca or guanaco could be used, or say, in very trivial cases even a common gingham. In graver differences, corded silk aud multiplied ribs mark the animosity of the contestants. A duel a la mort could be fought in a violent rain or snow storm, when the resolution of the duelists would be measured by the time he kept his weapon shut. By openiu orclosing the umbrella again, new combinations of surpassing elegance might be affected.
Iu fine, if the new weapon meets the success it merits, we may look to see arise in Paris, schools where the use of the umbrella shall be taught as an indispensable, manly accomplishment, with masters of its resources, who shall eclipse the fame of Bertrand and Angelo. Celebrated makers may advertise their wares by inventiug peculiar fancies in carte or tierce, only to be affected with their particular article, or secret, irresistable coups deparapluie, like the famous thrust of Jarnac.
[From a Review in the New York Sun:l
How Bennet's Mother-in-Law Tried to "Run" the Herald—The Result. The Herald soon became to be regarded as infallible iu all matters connected with the stage, and the managers owners and actors always depreciated its censure aud strove by every fileans iu their power to conciliate its good will. When Wilkoff came to this country as business manager for Fannie E. Ellsler, he took pains to propitiate the favor of Mr. Bennet. He toadied and fawned upon him with such fulsome adulation as to create a feeling of profound disgust, and when the editor departed on his nupital tour, he advised the person whom he left in charge of the paper, not to be bothered much by that fellow Wilkoff. Ellsler was at that time in Philadelphia, and on her return to fill an engagement at the Park Theater. Wilkoff called at the office aud demanded to have a long rigamarole of an article he had written published in the editorial columns. It was represented to him that such a thing was inconsistent with the character of the paper—that the reporter would give such an account of the dancer's performance as might be proper. Wilkoff left in a huff, and presently returned with a message from Mr. Bennet's mother-in-law, directing that the article should be iuserted as he desired. Wilkoff was told that Mrs. Crean might go to the bowwows, and it was intimated to him that if he did not make a speedy departure the usual way, he would make his exit by the window.
Ou Mr. Benuet's return, after some comments upon the manner in which the paper had been conducted iu his absence, he remarked, "You had some trouble with Wilkoff, didn't you?" "Nothing worth mentioning," was the reply. "You told him Mrs. Creau might go to the devil "Yes, I did." "Well, she may,"—and here the conversation ended.
