Tobacco is a Glorious Thing!—In his new book on the use of tobacco, Dr. Griscom lays great stress on its directly taisonouB effects and his ugly catalogue of tho consequences of excess in its use includes nervous disturbances, palpita tion of the heart, blindness, dyspepsia, jaundice, inflammation of the liver, dysentery, cancer, destruction of the teeth, paralysis, headache, imbecility, idiocy, insanity and death. He insists further that the common notion that tobscco prevents malaria, and aids digestion is wholly unfounded. Wo believe the thirteenth disease of the Doctor' 'ugly catalogue" 13 the commonest one of the tobacco user's punishments aad the worst one of the list, for when he has got that he carte nothing for the feel ings and dislikes of other people.

Just Debts.—The discussion of the question whether a man legally released from honest debts by the bankrupt law is morally released from their payment if he afterwards acquires ample ability to pay, show3 that the gospel of honesty needs a new proclamation. The man who wants to escupe doing as he promis ed, and snatches at outlawry laws, flaws in tho contracts, lack of witnesses and all such legal quirks to get rid of a fair square bargain 5s foolish to discuss the morality of the thing. He is past that The law may gi'o a debtor moral release ia some cases, bnt a simple inquiry may throw light on special cases Was the law intonded to put the debtor in position to get a living and pay his debts if he got a bank balance in his favor, or to help him to get tho bank balance while he snaps his fingers at the man who holds his notes? A solution of this latter question solves the whole matter.

D. W. Vookhkes finding his "occupation gone," under the new regime at Washington, has come to Indiana, to re peat his old, old story of the "nigger."— He "opened out" at the New Court House in this city on Saturday evening, and "edified" a very considerable audi once, composed to some extent, of Re publicans, who "like to hear Dan blow," but indobted for its numbers mainly to his friends whoso political creed, like his own, consists mainly of hatred of the colored race. As we have no special election in Vigo county, his effort cannot bo regarded as a utilization of his rhetor ical eloquenca, but has more the appear ance of carrying coal to Brazil or Sugar Creek for a market and, for the same reason, our readers have no interest in what ho said, or omitted to say. Suffice it that Daniel long sinco exhausted "the negro question that every one of liis ideas on that subject, original or borrow ed, has been put in words and type some hundreds of times, and that all who ever cared a tinker's condemnation about him or his talk, have heard or read all that ha can say on his favorite thome.

Terrible Deatii!—More Whisky Work!—Yesterday the dead body of John O'Brien was found at the bottom of well at R. Meyer's boardiDg house, cor* ner of Second aud Walnut streets. He was last seen about ten o'clOck .Saturday night, and was then very much under the influence of liquor. The well i9 just in side the fence on Second stroet, forming a portion of the fence, and it is su ihat in returning to his boarding house, ,in liis intoxicated condition, intending to climb over the fence, ho climbed tho Wall of the woll and stepping insido he went down, down the torribie leap of sixty feet to his death. Tho well is supplied with two buckets, when one is up the other is down, and the body was first discovered yesterday morning in at tempting to draw up the lower bucket with wator, and at the same time his hat was found outside'on the sidewalk. The body was immediately drawn out, an in quest held by Coroner Christy, with a

Qnding in accordanpe of the above facts, and the body was interred, just as. it was taken out of the woll, in a plain coffin.

O'Brien was an Irishman, about twen ty-flve years of ago, and was employed at Hunter's livery stable. He lived at Evansville about a year since, and Came to this city a month as*o. He has a brother and sister at St. Louis, Who have been notified of the suddon and unexpected death of their brother.

INDIANA ASliUBV UNIVERSITY.

The trustees of tbi* noted institution, located at Greoncastle, Ind at a special meeting on the 9ih inst., decided to proceed at once to erect a new Univenity building. This enterprise has been much talked about for several year?, and many of the friends of the project began to suspect that it would prove all talk and no work. But the late decision of the trustees was positive and decisive, not merely that a new edifice is needed and ought to be built, but that the work of building shall commence immediately.

Several plans had bson previously received and discussed, but at the above meeting of the Board, that submitted by Mr. Vrydagh, architect of tha State Normal School building was adopted.— It will be tho most handsome, commodi* ous and best arranged College edifice in tho State. It will contain ten large recitation rooms, to each of which will be attached an office for the professor, two society halls, one lecture hall, a faculty room, suitablo apartments for .the libraries, and a chapel in which an audience of 1300 can be seated.

LETTER EROM FAYETTE

Fayette Townbhif, March 16. Mb. Editor—I have not been down to see about the Poor Asylum for some time because the weather has run me and tbe ground hog into our holes. But notwithstanding me and the ground hog have been silent the world has still moved, as evidence of which I a few days ago received tbe following letter from a friend of mine, who is a boarder at tbe Poor House, which, perhaps, is about as readable matter as if I bad written it myself.

Poob House, March

If we git as many boarders for the next year as we have had for the last, the county will have a hard time Raseing the money to pay the debt. We think ther has bin Enough Distroyed and taken away to have kept tbe House well furnished. I think we have bad the best Doctor her for the last year that we Ever had Doctor Dougherty, we all think now that we will never Vote any more Democratic Tickets, we Jast wrote this to you that you may know how we have bin Giting along.

Nothing more at Present Remaning yours, Billy Patteb90k. It would appear from this letter that my friend is rather legging for Dr. Daugherty's re-appointment as County Doctor, but if he is really fearful that the County will have a hard time to raise money to pay the debt, he had better advocate economy by electioneering for Dr. Hollingsworth. It is an old saying, but I think a true one, that top many cooks spoil tho broth, and I see no good reason why this rule is not applicable in this case. Men of experience in business will tell you that where one party does certain work for which bo charges, and another party has to pay for that work, there is always room for differences of opinion, and it sometimes leads to difficulties. And in this case, if we have one man to superintend the poor and contract for all provisions and other necessaries for the Asylum, as well as dispose of tbe soap-grease, hams) and produce of the Poor Farm, and render his own accounts to the Commissioners, who are disinterested parties, for settlement, tbey might disagree with him and thereby get up a difficulty, when it might just as well be avoided by letting one man do the work, make his own charges and then settle with himself for the same by ordering it paid out of the County Treasury.

Yours, &c., Fayette. The Railroad West.—One of the most difficult of our searchea for local news is to obtain information of railroad movements. Those matters of so much interest to our people usually come sec* ond-hand. In tho Marshall, (Ills Messenger we find the following, and give it a place without any knowledge as to its truth. The Messenger says:

From the best information we have been able to gather, our long delayed and very troublesome question of whether tbe St. Louis, Vandalia and Torre Haute Railroad shall run by Marshall or Darwin, has at last been settled in favor of Darwin. It is reported that work will commence immediately, and the road be completed from Terre Haute to Darwin in ninety days. We in common with all our citizens, deeply deplore this result.— But we could not build the road ourselves aud tbe wealth of the companies that have undertaken to build it is such that all of our efforts in giving right of way, making local subscriptions etc, it seemB, were too puerile and insignificant to be taken into consideration in determining the merits of tbe lines,

It is probable that these companies have acted wisely and for their own best interests in rejecting all local aid, and thereby relieving themselves from even a seeming obligation to the people through whose country tbe road runs. But, whether wisely or unwisely, having once determined, we have no question they will immediately build the road to snit themselves. Tbey neither need nor desire local aid or looal sympathy. The people will be forced to go to them for favors had not they to tbe people.

We congratulate our friends below on their success. Because thay have had the good luck to get a railroad without paying anything for it, is no raason why we should not be friends. Their property and our property is in the same county, to be taxed for the same purpose of municipal government, and, perhaps in the end it will make but little difference to the county revenue, whether the railroad, whose property is to be taxed in the county, shall lie in the middle or at one side of the county.

And, while the effect of this decision could not be otherwise than regretted by very many of our best citizens, tbe boldness and independence of a monied corporation that invests hundreds of thousands of dollars in our midst without so much as saying, "by your leave challenge our admiration, and enlists our sympathy." As we could not get the road ourselves, we are glad that our county people h%ye got it, and that too, without being compelled to donate money, right of way or anything else.

Brick.—We have heretofore

noticed the enterprise of Messrs. Miles & Hedden in the manufactures of machine brick in our city. Their establishment is situated on south First street, and is very complete in all its arrangements. A powerful steam engine furnishes the requisite power to drag up the clay from the pits in the river bottoms and propel the machinery to temper the clay and mould the brick. They have all tbe neccessary conveniences for manufacturing of from 25,000 to 30,000 bricks per day, and for kiln-drying from 60,000 to 70,000 at one time, so that the process of making does not stop, with them, in rainy weather. The machine used for the manufacture of ordinary brick is known as

Sword's patent." They have also one of the "Philadelphia" hand presses for manufacture of an elegant article of pressed brick for fronts. The establishment has been extensively run during the past two seasons, giving employment to twenty-flve or thirty hands Among the public buildings, in our city, constructed of their brick are the Normal School, the depot of the Evansville Railroad and the Universalist church. A large number have also been used by citizens. There have been many attempts to make perfect bricks rapidly by machinery, which have not proven successful.— Messrs. Miles & Hedden, however, seem to accomplish this desirable end. In fact, they claim that the article manufactured by them is superior to the ordinary hand made brick in the following essentials 1. That they are heavier, weighing as 6 to 4 1/2 pounds as compared to ordinary brick, and more compact.

That they are less porous and therefore absorb less water or moisture that the machine brick from the kiln will not absorb more than two or three ounces of water, while the ordinary .nd made one will absorb from 22 to 14 ounces. 3. That they are much stronger, and will require forty per cent, more weight to crush them. Experiments made by Mr. Peddle, Superintendent of the Terre Haute & Indianapolis Railroad, Tn tbe machine shops in this city, en the 19th of February last, gave the following results Hand-made soft tricks were crushed by a pressure of four and seweii tons, ma« chyie soft bricks by ten tons. Hand* made red bricks crushed at 10 and 10$ tons, machineamade red bricks at XI tonB. The hari| biYcts of the machine resisted tons, ft. Ibat ttiej ale much smoother and mora Deatlj iqttars *nt less Hatle to give »t tha comers. Sbal th* cla/ lelng tern* nered t/ tteaia {I tetter tempered »B(X makes a trickles! Hallo to crack. 5. That the maehlne tr!ck sot feeing finished with sand, cement bettef ia t^e wall. 6. That they are cheaper, in the long run, because there is no waste about them and they are larger, stronger tnd more durable than the hand brick*

Tbe above are some of the advantages claimed by Messrs, Miles & Hedden, for their brick. They expect to manufacture heavily thls'j'ear, and caa lata cut from five to six millions during the present season, if demanded* Those who contem« plate building should examTne their bricks and test the truth of what fs claimed on their behalf. Oar citizens are all interested in encouraging and sustaining our manufacturers of all kinds, and we hope that Messrs. Miles & Hedden will find their enterprise successfully rewarded.
