Additional Local News.

MR. E. P. BEAUCHAMP accepted tbe position of first assistant doorkeeper to the House of Representatives, Indiana Legislature. He at first declined the proffered honor, but a second sight of the handsome black-eyed maidens, who wait on the Bates House tables, reminded him that it would be well to spend the winter in the Capital city.

FRIDAY night, of this week, Mr. and re it a a pearing in appropriate costumes—on the Opera House stage. They will give an entertainment which we are assured will be highly appreciated. The programme of the evening will conclude with the reading of the Widc^p Bedott Papers." See advertisement columns, first page.

WE expect that the theory of the descent of man from the monkey, as held by Darwin, will be illustrated by the scientist of the Journal,in a course of lectures, during which Langford's monkey will descend from a sycamore tree, head first. This will be on the theory of the Journal, that for a man to descend a pair of stairs, head first, when suffering from fever and ague, is to effect a permanent cure.

WE are informed that some officious person at the nail factory, commonly called tbe rolling mill, ordered one of onr carrier boys "not to leave an Daily Journals about that establishment." How is this, Mr. Proprietors 1—Journal.

Those rolling mill men are really very naughty. Don't want any Daily Journals Indeed, the proprietors should look after them, and if all persuasions fail to induce them to take the paper, they should be discharged forthwith. Don't want any Daily Journals! Language fails to express our surprise and indignation at the lack of appreciation of those

A YOUNG lady of this city who has a highly laudable ambitition to become an adept in the art or science of cookery, not long since aspired to the position of chief cook, on the occasion of a visit from some friends of the family. She discharged the arduous duties of the trust and was only astonished at the wry faces made by the guests when they sampled her cake. An examination by a special smelling committee revealed the startling fact that she had used machine oil for flavoring, instead of extract ef vanilla. She does the family sewing now, and her big sister superintends the _l.s y.,4 cookittg and baking.

Is the Journal Jealous?

If the Journal is jealous of the large and increasing circulation of the Evening GAZETTE we are sorry. We do not advance our interests in any spirit of envi ous rivalry, but because there is a field for our enterprise which we feel will be occupied by somebody, and that we had as well occupy it as anybody else. There is no reason why the Journal's patrons can not patronize us in addition to patronizing the Journal, for we want to deal fairly by all parties, and all men as well, and we are not trying to build up on the ruins of any other enterprise of like character, in the city. We shall spare no efforts, however, the legitimate field of journalism, to build up and make the Evening GAZETTE alike an honor to and a need of the community, and, at the same time, make it remunerative to ourselves. We expect, and we hope reasonably, that the community will sustain our efforts, and we know we will be sustained if we but discharge the duties we owe the public. We have, none but the kindest wishes for the Journal and its proprietors.

THE curiosity of the Terre Haute scientists, is wrought up to a frightful altitude by the announcement in the Journal, of this morniug, that the Darwinian question is to be editorially and scientifically treated through the columns of that paper, v^ry soon. Some rare scientific developments are anticipated by the local members of the A. A. A. S. Though these developments may be of little interest to thie average citizen, we hail with thrilling delightJ'tfie dawn of the day on which they will be prayerfully published to the world. This we do to encourage the scientifically inclined of the community.

From Chicago,

CHICAGO, NOV. 18.—The wind was blowing a gale from the west yesterday and a few miles from the shore the lake was very rough. A large number of grain and lumber vessels arrived during the day coated with ice, aud their crews reported that their sufferinge from the severe cold were very great. Most of these vessels will make one more trip before going into winter quarters.

For the-past two weeks a series of gales have been in constant succession on the lakes, and since tbe furious equinoctial of September, navigators aver they have encountered a longer spell of contrary and violent winds than during any fall within their recollection. Probably not one half of the disasters which, in the meantime have occurred, have come to the nutice of the press.

The vote for Administor on Improvements stands: Beauregard, '13,012 Davis, 12,225, giving the former a majority of 188, with the twelfth and thirteenth polls of the Third Ward still to hear from. Beauregard is doubtless elected. The State goes Conservative by 5,000 majority, with a Conservative Legislature.

From New York.

NEW YORK, NOV. 18.—Hon. Thurlow Weed is lying seriously ill at his residence on West Twelfth street, suffering from the chronic effect of sunstroke which occurred two years ago. He has been confined to his house for the past week where he is daily visited by numerous friends and politicians. His physicians entertain hopes that his illness will not prove fatal.

It is probable that the waiter girls who were arrested Saturday night will be discharged to-day, but the proprietors of the saloons where the descent was made will in all probability have to undergo an examination.

Hens, chickens and turkeys all over the State appear to be suffering from a disease which attacks them in the form of chills and fever, the fowls dying within ten to eighteen hours after being attacked. Reports from every county in New York say that poultry are dying from the disease in large numbers. The farmers are becoming alarmed and are doing everything to prevent the spread of the disease.

A special dispatch from Charleston, S. C., states that a fire broke out in the town of Abbeville, yesterday, destroying about one-fourth of the town. Nearly all the public buildings were consumed, including the court house. The county records are destroyed. Loss, about 50,000 partly insured.

Miss F. H. Churchill, of Chicago, lectures at Cooper institute, to-morrow evening, taking as her subject, "Will the Ballot Elevate Woman." The proceeds of the lecture will be expended for the benefit of the eleven thousand sewing girls in Boston, thrown out of employment by the late fire.

No material change occurred in the general condition of the horses in the car stables yesterday, and there is considerable uncertainty as to the result of the new form of the epidemic. On this point veterinary surgeons differ. Some of the blooded stock have been attacked, but the stables of Bonner, Dan. Mace and othess remain uninfected, and turfmen hold the opinion that the illness of other first rate trotters is attributed to excessive exercise before recovering from the primary attack of the epidemic. Mortality among horses from the new disease is very large.

A special dispatch from Washington says that Senators aud members are arriving in small numbers in order to seek quarters for the winter or to put their houses in order. Senators Morrell, of Vermont, Edmunds, Cole, Windham, Cameron, Spencer, Harlan and Stockton are already here, and Sherman will arrive Tuesday. A quorum of the House Appropriation Committee are here and will begin their sessions cn the appropriation bills on Tuesday. Senator Pom eroy, of Kansas, arrived yesterday and will remain until the meeting of Con gress.

A special from Washington to the World, says a very general denial is furnished to the rumors that the President intends to recommend in his annual message, now in course of preparation, the revival of the project for the annexation of San Domingo, and a policy looking to the acquisition of Cuba.

An effort is being made to develop the internal improvements in San Domingo by building a railroad and inaugurating other American systems. It is calculated to add to the material resources of Ireland and render its acquisition more valuable. Baez is co-operating with this American interest, and is opposed at present to any change of the Government there. Probably the Forty-third Congress, and not the coming one, will witness an inauguration of the territorial acquisition in the West Indies.

A majority of the American representatives of the Board of Arbitration are now here. They propose before the assembling of Congress, to arrange a plan which' shall be recommended in the President's annual message, for the disbursement of the amount of the award to American claimants.

NEW YORK, NOV. 18.—The Court of Oyer and Terminer was crowded this morning, it having been reported that some disposition would be made of Tweed's case, and a nolle prosique entered in Hall's case. Tweed was present as also a^full array of counsel. Garvey was also in attendance. Graham charged that the proceedings have heretofore been conducted so irregularly and unfairly toward the defendant that it was improper, at the present time, for the prosecution to press a motion to have the case against the defendant set down forrtial.

The District Attorney moved that Tweed be arraigned to plead to an indictment found against him by the Oyer and

Terminer Grand Jury on the 7th

o# October, charging him jointly, with Hall and Connelly, with having committed frauds on the City Treasury. Graham desired further time, and Judge Brady thought the motion to arraign should be postponed until the motion regarding the furnishing lists of witnesses are disposed of.

The District Attorney then intimated that a motion would be made to-morrow that Tweed be arraigned and a day fixed for trial.

Dutch Heinricb, the noted bond robber, who was sent to the State Prison for ten years for stealing $40,000 in bonds from a Cedar street merchant, ia to have a new trial.

Stokes' counsel to-day made a motion

for the appointment of a day for his second trial. The District Attorney will be heard on the motion to-morrow. The probabilities are that the trial will commence next month.,

From Illinois.

SPRINGFIELD, NOV. 18.—The receipts of the returns from Cook county give an opportunity to complete the estimates with the following as the result of the total vote in this State Grant, 239,789 Greeley, 183,468 Grant's majority, 56,321. Oglesby, 239,508 Kcerner, 197,104 Oglesby's majority, 42,404. The above are not the official, but only an estimated result. Several counties returns are still absent from the Secretary's office, and it will be a day or two before the official figures can be ascertained.

From Minnesota.

ST. PAUL, NOV. 18.—The severe weather for the past few days still continues. Duluth is about the worst sufferer, for al though the actual damage may be con fined to the loss oft ie schooners Francis Palmer and Sweetheart, and the washing sway of the breakwater, it demon strates that only the most immense expenditure can make a safe harbor there.

The Winona & St. Peter aud the St. Patil & Sioux City Railroads are both blockaded with snow for about 150 miles. The St. Paul & Pacific Main Line to Brfeckenriege, is also troubled with snow. The engine and baggage car on the Breckenridge Line, which left here this morning, were thrown from the track at Minneapolis, and Charles Yeager, engi neer, and James Currin, fireman, were seriously injured.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, NOV.18.—ThePresident to-day appointed Levi Edwin Dudley, of New York, Supt. of Indian Affairs in New Mexico, vice Nathaniel Pope, suspended.

The report of Major Walter McFarland on the examination of the route for the canal connecting the Tennessee river with the Atlantic Ocean at Savannah, Ga., will be transmitted to Congress by the Secretary of War. The report speaks In the highest terms of the feasibility of the project and gives full estimates of the cost.

From Louisville^

LOUISVILLE, NOV. 18.—The epizootic is now a complete success, the last horse of the street railroad being on the sick list. The Fourth street cars are pulled by employees. The fare has been increased to ten cents, and the money is -pai|f6ver ta amateur horses. Hundreds of men have become as children, and are now playing horse on the public streets. Velocipedes are coming in use again, and old parcel express wagons are called into requisition.

From Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 18.—Owing to the cold weather horses are becoming affected with lung fever and pneumonia. Some 25 deatns reported since yesterday. "Old Iron Gray," a famous horse, belonging to the U. S. Express Co., died this morning. The ox market is glutted to-day.

From Milwaukee.

MILWAUKEE, NOV. 18.—Advices from Sheboygan, Fondu Lac, Green Bay, aud all the leading cities in the State, announce the prevalence of the horse distemper. Four deaths occurred at Green Bay, Thursday, from the disease, which has also proved fatal in many instances at other points. Fears are entertained that logging in the pineries will be retarded by the epidemic.

It is expected that the track of the Chicago, Millwaukee & St. Paul Railway will be laid to Chicago by Saturday eve ning. The event will be appropriately celebrated.

NEATLY DONE.—It requires a good deai of skill and good taste to write a good puff for an undertaker. A newspaper editor in Council Bluffs says: "Since we have to use coffins, we prefer thosewhich Riley furnishes. We took a view of his supply of the commodity yesterday afternoon. His stock would even carry the city pretty well through a siege of

Liverpool, ,000.

JUST as a passenger train on the Detroit & Milwaukee road, recently, was clear of Detroit, and running at the rate of ten or twelve miles an hour, an old man suddenly leaped from his seat, rushed to the platform and bounded off, turning about forty somersaults before he brought up against the fence. In a short time he appeared at the depot, looked all around, and then exclaimed "What an old fool I thought I had left my umbrella here and jumped off the cars to get it, and now, hang me, if I don't remember pf chucking it under the seat.'-'

THE Chicago Interior says "Rev. H.L Dickersoa, ofEdinburg, Indiana, has received a harty aud unanimous call from the Church at Iiockville, in the same State, and will e^ter upon his labors there as early as November 17. His correspondents will pleass O^jEe the change.
