WHAT do you think of the Democratic nominees for councilmen

BLUE is a premium color, and jeans is a home-made cloth, worthy of our centennial year.

IF the Republicans desire to nominate a candidate with running qual. ities, Bristow is their man.

WE can't say that we object to the payment of the bonded indebtedness of the Government in silver.

LANDERS is still holding fast to that Independent nomination for Govermor. "Hold faal" is a good dog

NEW YORK State will send a solid delegation to St' Louis, pledged to vote for Governor Tilden, first, last, .onrl oil Mio •Imo

THE Democratic nominations for councilmen are all first-class. The GAZETTE venture the prediction that the ticket will be elected by a good round majority

"THE blue and the gray" ticket is what'the Logansport Pharos calls the ticket headed by "Blue jeans," Williams and Col. Gray. .Not a bad

AND now it appears that a shrewd and enterprising individual has stolen a horse and buggy belonging to tbe President. Thus is exploded that old aw to the effect that there is honor8 among—gentleman. T"

YESTERDAY was the two hundred and twelfth anniversary of the birthday of William Shakespeare. William was a ma^, whom, had one the honor of his acquaintance it would have paid him, to grapple to his soul with hooks of steal. In a word was a brick:

ALL of our city banks are now paying out silver in change over their counters. The days of the shinplaster are numbered. Again let the GAZETTE charge everybody who desires to save specimens of the fractional currency to lay some aside. It may be too late to-morrow.

AT a vneture the GAZETTE makes the prediction that ex-Secretary of the Treasury McCulloch will come outof the investigation against himself with flying colors. He is not the kind of man that is hurt by investigations. His record in Indiana is that of a high-minded and honorable gentleman.

OUR paper fractional currency con sists of four different denominations, aggregating one dollar. If every person would save one of each kind as a curiosity, why, presto, changa there would be none, and we should have made a centennial payment on our national debt of $44,000,000.

PERHAPS Grant's use of the secret service funds to secure his re-election, has persuaded some people into a belief in the necessity of a one term amendment to the constitution. It is barely possible tbat a President would not misappropriate Goverument funds to help another candidate.

Rothschild's Marriige,

Paris Correspondent London TimesMarch 22, Mile. Bettiaa Rothachild.dabghter ot Baron Alphonse Rothschild,was married to-day at the synagogue In Rue de la Viotoireto Baron Albert Rothschild, ol "Vienna. Twelve o'clock was men--tiened on the cards of invitation, but it was nearly a half an hour after that timo before the bridal pair arrived, in a magnificent equipage, followed by the other members of their numerous family, in voitures de gala. There was an immense crowd ia th» narrow street, but as no one was admitted into the synagogue without a ticket, thsre was plenty of rooin in the sacrcd edifice.

The coup d'feil on passing the central doorway was highly effective. The architecture is imposing in the grand simp icity of its outline*,md the building is both wide and lolty, forming a spacious nave divided by a series of round arches from two side aisles. Behind the semicircular portion of the synagogue, on each side of the Ten Commandments, answering to what would be called the sanctuary in a church,there was profus3 decoroiion of tropical plants, with festoons of red and white roses disposed against a background of verdure. The red canopy beneath which the ceremony took place stood out in picturesque reliof from this mass of green coloring.

The lady guesls were marshaled into seats on the left, while the men were sent to the right. The latter were all in full evening dress. As soon as the bride and bridegroom made their appearance the organ pealed out and the excellent choir intoned an effective hymn. The boys' voices were particularly bright and telling, From a mu sical point ot view, the service was very interesting. A hymn on a charming melody, composed expressly for the occasion by M. Jonas, was well sung by an amateur, and during the offertory M. Faure gave the famous prayer from "Mose in JDgitto," and it was droll to observe the sangfroid with which the entire congregationwas about to say aodieuce— turned their backs ou what we should call the altar, and remained in this position to gaze at the famous singer, their love of music overcoming their respect for the sanctity of tbe place. Moreover, as soon as the offertory began everybody reversed the seat of bis wooden chair in order to make room for the gueteuses, wfio, preceded by a huissierPnd accompanied by a gentleman, solicited alms in accordance with French practice, which in this instance somewhat impaired the effects of both instruments and voice. M. Faure also sung with superb effect a "Chant d'Hymenee," composed expressly for the occasion by Monseur Samuel David. The cuoral ritournelle of the canticle is very melodious, and the harp accompaniment to the second verse adds to the unquestionable effect of the composition. It begins in French, "Les chefs d'lsruel sont dans Pallagresse," but M. Faure sung it to Hebrew words. Tne ceremony was concluded by an extraordinarily wild and difficult chant, sung by a cantor possossed of a voice of rare compass and power. In a short sermon the officiating rabbi alluded to the circumstances that the bride and bridegroom were already related by family ties.

When the service was over, all the friends of tbe bride crowded into a side apartment to congratulate the newly wedded pair. The assemblage compriood moot of tho notables of Paris, and a remarkable number ui handsome and well dressed ladies. Hundreds of people were waiting in the bitterly cold wind ia the open str- et to see the bride pass, but she es caped by a side door in the Rue St. Georges.

Clapp Confessed.

Speclal de3patcn to the New York Wjnd Washington, April 22.—Clapp, th Government printer, was examined by the House Committee on Printing to day and his confessions and admissions fully confirmed the proofs which tbe committee have accumulated of mismanagement and frauds. When confronted with the proofs Mr. Clapp admitted that he had used Gov eminent moneys without making any record of the fact on the books that Government money had been deptS' ited in the bank aud nothing on the boolss to show for it and, generally tbat the books did not pretend to be a truthful record of the business and could not be relied upon to show how mucu had been done or what the receipts were- In one instance he admitted having ordered the books to be balanced, when it was known they did not balance. In another instance he admitted selling some five hundred volumes yearly of a valuable work to one firm here in the city, ahd the booka nowhere make any record of such sale. And so it has "been from first to last in every department. Nothing appears to have been done honestly and above board. No reliable accounts have been kept, and it id impossible to ascertain how much the

Government has been cheated out of. The only criterion on which to base a judgment is the fact that Clapp came here moneyless and is now rich. With Mr. Clapp's examination the committee have finished the main part of the investigation, and will very soon begin to prepare their report.

The individual judgment of some, if not all the members of the committee is that it would be a saving to the Government to throw the whole establishment into the river if it is found impossible to get rid of it in any other way.

SWOPPING SOULS.

A Wonderful Transni egration.

A Jew and an Englishman Sick Two Thousand Miles Apart Change Their InSentitr.

'Members of the medico-legal society of this city aro greatly astonished by the following events,the news of which has just reached this place.

Bv the direction of the Emperor of Russia, a scientific investigation is now going on into the most astonishing case of metempsychosis, or wandering of the human soul from one body to another, that has ever been known to the world. The instance referred to is vouched for by the Medical Weekly Journal, of St. Petersburg, by a newspaper published at New Westminister, British Columbia, by rhe Imperial Governor, of Orenburg, by Prof. Orlow, of St. Petersburg, and by several gentlemen of New York, to whom Orlow told the strange story about nine mouths ago,and who tliom* selves had an opportunity to see and converse with the two men whose souls are alleged to have been so miraculously interchanged.

In Soptember, 187-1, in Orenburg, Russia, thero lay sick, with typhoid fever, a wealthy i.by tho name of Abraham Charkoy, a native of the place, known to everybody, married, aud the father of several children. On the 22d day of that month he seemed to be dying. At midnight he suffered greatly, and the physician pronounced him in the agonies of jdeath. A number of Jews were called in, as is customary, prayers were said, wax candles lit, the wife and children were sorrowfully bereaved, when suddenly the sick man gave a tremendous jerk, heaved a deep sigh, began to breath freely, opened his eyes, and looked with amazement at tbe doings of those around him, and then fell asleep. The physician announced tbat all danger was over. He slept through the night, but what took place in the morning was most wonderful. When he awoke he refused to reeognize either his wife or children, and pushed them away in anger when they went near him. Besides, he spoke a language none could understand, Previously he bad only known a corrupted mixture of German and Hebrew, and some little Russian. In a week he was well enough to leave his bed, but utterly refused to wear bis customary clothes. The physicians unanimously declared bim insane. In appearance he had not changed. He was tbe same tall, lean man, with dark, curling locks of hair, long black beard, and dark furrowed line across his forehead. Yet ho spoke an unintelligible language, refused to know his lamily, and even his father and mother, appeared as strangers to bim. K.y chance one day he beheld himself in a mirror and uttered a fearful shriek. He touched and pulled at his long Oriental nose, he felt his long curls,, bis long black beard, and with a scream he fell to tho floor in a swoon. The case caused great excitement, and a full report was made to the medical section of the ministry of the interior of St Petersburg. The order went out to orenberg to send the Jew and his family,bis parents,and the other witnesses at once to St. PetersDnrgrto hfl examined by the medioal faculty. The examination -woo con* ducted by Prof Orlow, and of tbe most learned men of Russia.

The astonishment of the professor may be Imagined, when he found _ih»t this illiterate Jew from], Orenberg spoke pure idiomatic i^jgnsn with fluency, and even with some elegance, that he wrote it also grammatically and orthograthically correct, wniie his family and parents insisted vehemently that Abraham never in his life spoke anything but a German Jewish-jargon aud some Russian, and could never write otherwise than the Jewish characters. Still more cause for the porfessor's wonderment, was the statement of tho Jew himself in English, that he was not Abraham Charkoy at all, tbat those who pretended to be his wife and children and his parents, were total strangers to him, that he was not a native of

Orenberg, never lived there, that he was not even a Russian, but an Englishman named Abraham Durham, born in the town of New Westminister, in British Columbia, where he resided as a fur dealer and had a wife and ono child livinp that 'from some inexplicable cause he found himself changed in appearance, that he naturally was small tu stature, stout in body, with fair complexion, and blonde hair and whiskers. The professor and his associated doctors did not know what to make of him, since he appeared to them a very intelligent and educated Eoglishman while the woman, her children, and the other witnesses claimed him as the illiterate Russo-German Jew, Abraham Charkoy. But while the matter was being further investigated, and tbe entire family kept in close confinement in St. Petersburg, Abraham was mssing one morning, having escaped on board of an English ship bound for Hull. Tbe case was quietly dropped after bis flight, and subsequent events were still more wonderful, In 1875 Prof, Orlow was sent to America by tbe Russian Government to make inquiries con^' cerning the international exhibition. While in this City be found in a New York paper the following startling acconnt copied from the New Westminister Press of British Columbia. •'At New Westminister an occurrence recently took place which caused great sensatiou throughout tbe whole territory of British Columbia. On the 22d day. of September, 1874, a fur dealer was in a dying condition, suffering from typhoid fever, and no one, not even bis physician, seemed to entertain any hope as to the possibility of his recovery. Nevertheless the patient rallied and fully recovered, But wonderful to relate, the patient, who was ac intelligent Englishman, hud forgotten bi* mother tongue and speaks a language which is understood by bo one around him, but which at last is understood by an inhabitant of the city to be a jargon of bad Jewish German. The patient, before bis sickness a short, stout fellow and a blonde, is now.'thin like a stick, refuses to rec ognize his wife and child, but insists tbatiie has a wife and several children somewhere else the man is believed to be insane.

All at once a European traveler arrives, marked with a genuine Hebrew face, and claims to be th£. husband of the wife of tbe fur dealer. He speaks to the woman in the same language her husband was wont to speak to her, he gives her and even her parents who live in said city, but who, of course, do not recognize him aB their son, tbe most detailed and miuute description of by-gone events, and insists upon seeing the woman's husband and the parents' son. Tbe poor woman is almost in peril of her reason, the effect ot tbe trying ordeal. She incessantly asks 'Who is tnis fellow? How does he claim to be my husband?' When she hears him speak, and does not look-at his figure, she is ready to think he is her husband, but as soon as she looks at bim the spell is broken, for surely this stranger with the Jewish face caunot be her "husband whom she just nursed in his sickuess. But the man continues to press bis

3SS

clpim, and tells .her the most delicate and secret facts, evidently known only to the buBbaud an'dwife." ,.

Prof. Grlow read and re-read this account, and the thought struck him that this seemingly impossible occurrence may have more connection with: the strikingly similar case of the Orenburg Jew, Abraham Charkoy, the investigation of which had so puzzled bim at St* Petersburg. He sent a brief extract ot it to the home minister to Russia, and asked permission to go to to British Columbia and continue liis examination there. Leave was granted him, and June last found him in New Westminister. There, to his utter surprise, he found the same man,. lank, black-haired, black-whikered,Orenburg Jew, Abraham Charkoy, who had escaped from St. Petersburg, but now claiming to be Abraham Durham. But there he found the very representative of the man described to him by the Jew as he ought to look, a man email in stature, stout in body, with a fair complexion and blonde hair, whom all his neighbors and his wife and child said was Abaham Durham, an intelligent, educated Englishman, but who since his paroxysm of the 22d day of September, 1874, at high noon, had seemingly forgotten all his knowledge of the English langunge, and was since speaking in a tongue none could understand. Addressing him, the professor at once ascertained him to speak the Jewish German dialect prevalent at Orenburg and, asking him who he was, the man promptly replied that his name was Abraham Charkoy, a Jewish Trader of means, and residing at Orenburg, Russia, where his parents still lived, giving their correct names, staling also that he had a wife and three children there, describing them mi nutely by name and features. There, was,

that moment,' a nonplussed

professor. There was evidently no fraud ... the matter, because each of the two men are exceedingly earnest in his assertion that he was not himself but the other man. A strange circumstance was also that the change in both occured precisely on the same day, the 22nd day of September, 1874, both were sick with the typhoid, and both presumed to be ill the agonies of death. The distance between Orenberg aud New Westminister is about 9,000 miles, but the two places are exactly opposite each other, direct antipodes. Hence,Prof. Orlow came to the conclusion that if such a thing as metempsychoisis or the transmi» gration of souls from one human body another be within the range of possibilities, the case of the Abrahams in Russia .and America seems to be an evidence of it, since the soul life of inner consciousness of the one has been completely changed to that of the other, without any outward change ill the appearance of the men. He was slill more inclined to this belief from the fact that not only the day, but the very moment of the change in the two men agreed. The Russian suffered this change on the 22d of September, 1874, at precisely midnight the Englishman in British Columbia underwent alike transformation on the same day at noon,'and the difference of time and longitude lo'oiiob'thnt when it is imdnijht at Orenburg it is noon at New West minister. May not the case for the occurrences be found in some as yet undiscovered infiuneaces of terrestrial magnetism? was ope of the thoughts of the learned professor, and hre concluded to make exhaustive inquiries into the affair. For this purpose be prevailed upon both the men to accompany him to Russia, which they did, remaining for some days in this city, where the professor finisncd the work for which he originally was sent to this country by his government" While there Prof. Orlow related the account to several gentlemen whose acquaintance he had made, and they also spoke to the two mixed'up Abrahams, coming to the same conclusion with tbe professor that here indeed was a case wholly inexplicable to any known law of nature. Since last November Prof, Orlow and the two men, wonders of the age, have beeu at St. Petersburg where the inquiry is progressing slowly,—[New York Mercury.

A KEMmKirVICS.

1, SnulIDippiiig Destroys Beauty, aud £veo Itiiius the €alvee. [From the HopHliisviile Democrat.]

Talk about the opium eater or the whisky drinker how much more are they to be pitied than the lady who is addicted to dipping snuff? We believe there is more snuff used in Hopkinsvilie than in any other place of its size in Kentucky, and its use is steadily on the increase. Hopkinsvilie has a reputation for pretty women, but how long that reputation will last 'tis hard to tell. Some of the prettiest women we knew ten or twelve- years ago are now nothing out faded flowers. Lips that once looked like ripe cherries, and for one kiss from which a man would almost give his light arm, now look more iike dried apples thau anything else we can think of. The cheek, once lull and rosy, is now sunken and colorless. The chin, which looks longer, now glories in a bronze-col-ored stripe, which re»hes down to the throat.

We were going down the street the other day, and noticed a lady coming up. It v^as a windy March day, and the lady's skirts were lifted a little above her boot-tops. We know the aristocratically arched foot, but hang it! what has become of the niceiy-rounded ankle? It wasn't there. When we got near enongh to look into the lady's lace we knew that snuff had done its .work. Snufl is robbing.women of their beauty and depriving' them of husbands. It is more harmful than smoking and more repulsive than cbewing, and its use by ladies is almost as much to be condemned ag the drinking of whisky by men and if the ladies have ground* to talk about Jmen drinking and smoking, they are assured that snufl, dipping in the eyes of men is about as repulsive as tbe smvll of a two-cent-and-a-half cigar or a sniff of "ride" whisky to the olfactories of the fuir sex.

We indulge the hope that there will be an anti-snuff society formed, which will be a twin sister of our temperance society. W« have no idea how many ladies in our city will take exception to this article. If all that use snuff were to get after us we we would call their name Legion but we are upheld in our action by some of the most sensible mothers in town, in entering a protest against a habit, the adoption which by a girl is almost as much to be dreaded by a parent as is tbe first taste of liq.» uor by his boy.

The man sits down. If he is a! small man he sits on tbe floor, hisi feet slant toward the ceiling, his knees dig into his throat and his back is dreadfully wrenched, while his hat is jammed over his eyee. "Fell through, eh inquires Mr. Adeler as he looks around. "How do you like Philadelphia

The stranger struggles, finds himself fast and asks to be extricated. He is polittly informed that it is agairst the rules of the office to extricate any one who falls through tbe chair in which Artemus Ward used to sit and is in just the condition he left it. "Does Philadelphia come up to your ideas kindly inquires Mr. Adeler as he opens another exchange.

The stranger sets to work to bust that chair or break his back, but he can do neither. Ha thinks the joke has been tarried far enough, but is informed tha* it is not a joke—that no man around the office was ever more sober in his life.

The victim tries to laugh, and remarks that five^minutes more will finish his spinal colum. "O, no it won't," replies Mr. Adeler. *'Why, I have known men who were ou the verge of the grave to live in your position for one hour and sixteen minutes!"

After a .quarter of an hour or more Mr. Adeler calls in three more editors and introduces them to the stronger, and they want to know if he is pleased with-Philadelphia, and if he has any hard feelings against the memory of William Penn. Five minutes is then spent in debating whether the victim can he extricated under a suspension of the rites. The vote is a tie, and the city editor is called in to cast a ballot. He makes a speech, explaining his reasons for voting "yes1" aud after twenty-five minutes have passed away the stranger is released, a photograph of William Penn given him, and he is told that any street car line will take him to the Centennial grounds.

How WILLIS WAS TURNED OUT of CHURCH*—Apropos of getting out of church, Dr. Edward Beecher tells this story of N. P. Willis and the Park Street Church, Boston Duringa reivval atAudover, Willis while laboring under great excitement, believed that he had become a Christain and joined the church. Afte a few months he came to the speaker and told him that he had made a mistake, and asked him if he could not be let out of the church- The speaker told him he would do all he could* He laid the case before the church, but they went by the usage—letter, death or excommunication -and the speaker told bim that if he wanted to leave the church he would have to do something so bad that he would have to be put out. So the poet went to the theater, and that was considered bad enouzh to excommunicate him, and Mr, Willis got his release.

Recognized the Description—The Austin, Nevada, Reveille, tells of a man who had played too much pedro for tbe drinks, and who, to sober off, followed the sound of the church bells to church. During the sermon the minister gav9 a glowing description of Heaven and its delights, describing it as -a city paved with gold, Us ways covered w*ijh beautiful foliage aud the air redolent with the perfume of orange blossoms but, in tbe midst of the description, the congregation were startled by the rancher, who, nudging his next neighbor aud winking knowingly, whispered in a whisper that was beard throughout the church: "I've been there—that's in California."

SPBINO sports have begun Tbe golden-haired child is abroad, and she trundled her hoop against your stomach. Again the resounding whack of shinny is beard,and the violant clinker knocketh off the crystal head of the caltn aud useful lanip«post. The vivacious kite scareth the inquiring steed tbe sidewalk is surrendejed to the geometrical intricacies of bopscotch, and democratic youths mum-ble-the-peg in the clean dirt. Once more the hero of our National came hieth to the diamond field and smilingly offereth his other eyo and remaining three lingers as a sacrifica. Hail, gen« tie spring—this is invigorating.[N.

from his lrte attack of "Peri

congratulating

him upon it, the other

day, quite thoughtfully observed: •'if pour Excellency should have another return nf the malady, I think it would be advisable to give it another name. "Periodical neuralgia" would not meet with such kind public reception again." "Why not?" asked the President. "Weil," said Znch, "the people might think the doctors here don't understand your case."—[Brooklyn Argus. "Where's the bar?" asked a dirty and rather boozy-looking stranger of the bell-boy of a hotel tbe other day "What kind of bar?" asked the latter. 'Why a saloon bar, of course what do vou suppose I mean?" "Well," drawled the boy, "I didn't know but you might mean a bar of soap."
