NEABLY'A RAILROADER.—On Tuesday evening a lady accompanied by two or three children took passage on Jim Ferry's train at Vincennes. She had not proceeded far when she waB taken very sick. Conductor Ferry, who is proverbial for his large heartedness and genuine humanity, gave her every possible attention, and did all in his power to alleviate her sufferings. At Fort Branch it was deemed advisable that she should leave the train. She was convoyed to a house noar the road where in less than five minutes she gave birth to a fine boy, whom tho proposes to name Ferry as a manifestation ^f gratitude for the Jtindly attentions shown her by that prince of conductors. i!

QUEER AcciDKifT.—Saturday evening last, Dr. E. V. Ball was holding or guarding a fractious cow while another person wus milking her, when a movement on ihe part of the cow caused him to fall This frightened the cow, and making a plunge she fell upon the Doctor's head.— The floor was slippery and it was with difficulty she could regain her feet, in the struggle meanwhile grinding the Doctor's head underneath. He escaped with some severe braises, but, fortunately neth ing of a serious nature. It is.very doubt ful whether if the Doctor and the cow should rehearse for an entire season they could get up another such a tableau with no more serious results.
EUILDINO ASSOCIATION—An effort has recently been made in this city to organize a building association, for the benefit of mechanics and men of limited means. Thus far, the effort, like all other new movements, has not met with the most promising success, but it is to be hoped the experiment may be tried, and put in operation this season. These associations exist in St. Louis and other western cities, and have been foun® to work well. Becently an organization has been perfected in Richmond, this State. From the

TIECORD or A STRONG COMPANY.—The National LifeIniufancai'Corapany, which received its charter from tho national Congreii in Jufy lut}hM already -made its record in unmistakable characters.
of that city, we
learn the plan adopted is this:— Each member pays twenty-fivo conts per week for each share for which lie^subscribes the number of shares uro five hundred at $200 each, making a capital stock of $100,000, which is the limit, we believe, for such associations in this State. In a month's time $500 will have accumulated. This is put up for bids, and the member who bids tho highest for the privilege of the loan borrows it from the Association, giving his note for tho amount less the premium, at six per cent, interest, secured by mortgage on real estate. For instance a member who has subscribed for three shares bids a premium of six per cent, on a loan of $600.— He gives note for $564 at eix per cent, interest, and surrondere his shares of stock to the Association. He pays his installments of twenty-fivo cents per week on each share and the interest on $664 monthly until tho Association expires, ho being meantime a sharor in all the profits of the Association.— The advantage of such an association is that it enables men of small means to buy houses, paying for them in weekly installments amounting to little if any more than would be paid for house rent. To those who wish to loan and not to borrow, such an Association is as good as a saving bank, affording a safe and profitable return in interest and profits. The advantage to the city that will result from a large number of our mechanics and working men who now make up transient population, becoming owners of property euinot be overestimated. They are the bone and sinew of the city, and on them more than on any other class its prosperity and growth depends. We believe tbat a careful examination of the subject of Building Associations will result in tho organization of at least three or four such societios in Torre Haute.

ANIMAL LIFE is full of corruption and we can only hope to escape the ills which flesh is hoir to by a judicious use of the remedies in nature's store-house. In all the time which has past since the work began, mankind has given great attention and some of its best talent to the study of medicine. While this sacrifice has not been wholly in vain, the facts elicited are tew and mostly unsatisfactory. Among the truths which have been elicited is this, "that if we keep the blood pure we must be healthy.' To purify the blood there is no medium equhl to Morse's Indiflu Root Fills, as thousands of testimonials will verify. Use Morse's Pills if you wish to regain and retain your health. Morse's Pills aro the best medicino for all Female Irregularities, Liver Complaints, Indigestion, Billiousness, Dispepsia, Headache,

sweri this question as follows Women, of course. Bat they show the ante diversity of taste that ia seen in the lover ranks, and on the "whole make a'orse mistakes. They, however, generally show the tame sensy in choosing wives that they show-in managing other people's affairs, whether it be good or bad.
John Howard, the great philanthropist, married his nurse. She was altogether beneath him in social life and intellectual cipac'ty, and besides this, was iifty-two years old while he was but twenty-five.— He would not take "No" for an answer, and they were married, and lived happily together until her death, which occurred two years afterward.
Peter the Qreat, of Russia, married peasant' girl. She made an excellent wife and a sagacious Empress.
Humboldt married a poor girl because he loved her. Of course they were happy.
Shakspeare loved and wed a farmer's daughter. She was faithful to her vows, but we could hardly say the same of the great bard himself. Like most of the great poets, he showed too little discrimination in bestowing his affection on the other sex.
Byron married Miss Milbank to get money to pay his debts. It turned out a bad shift.
Robert Burns married a farm girl, with whom he fell in love while they worked together in the plow-field. He, too, was irregular in his life, and committed the most serious mistakes in conducting his domestic affaire.
Milton married the daughter of a country squire, but he lived with her but a short time. He was an austere, exact" ing, literary recluse while she was a rosy, romping country lass that could not endure the restraint imposed upon her, and so they separated. Subsequently, bowever, she returned, and they lived tolerably happy.
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were cousins, and about the only example in the long line of English monarchs wherein the martial VOWB were sacredly observed and sincore affection existed.
Washington married a widow with two children. It is enough to say of her that she was worthy of bim, and that they lived HS married folks should, in perfect harmouy.
John Adams married the daughter of a Presbyterian clergyman. Her lather objected on account of John's being a lawyer he had a bad opinion «f the morals of the profession.
Thomas Jefferson married Mrs Martha Skelton,n childless widow,but she broughthim a large fortune in real estate. After tho ceremony she mounted the horse behind him and they rode home together. It was late in tbo evening, and they found the fire out. But the great statesman bustled around and rebuilt it, while she seized the broom and soon put things in order. It is needless to .«ny that they were happy. Jefferson died a poor man on account of bis extreme liberality and hospitality.
Benjamin Franklin married the girl who stood at her father's door and laughed at him as he wandered through the streets of Philadelphia with rolls of bread tin* der bis arms and his pockets filled with dirty clothes. She had occasion to be happy when she found herself the wife of such a great and good man.
It. is not generally known that Andrew Jackson married a lady whose husband was still living. She was an uneducated and amiable woman, and most devotedly attached to tbe old warrior and states* man.
John C. Calhoun married his cousin and tbeir childien were neither diseased nor idiotic, but they do not evince the talent of the great "States' rights" advocate.
Edward Lytton, the English statesman and novelist, married a girl much his inferior in position, and got a shrew for a wife. She is now insane.
General Sam. Houston lived happily with a squaw wife, wfeile General Ben. Butler was divorced from an accomplish^ ed lady. Edwin Forrest, the great tragedian, married a beautiful actress, from whom he was divorced. General Fremont married the daughter of Thomas E. Benton against the latter'a wish, whic' obliged him to elope with her on a stormy night. The union proved a happy one in spite of tho squally beginning. Horace Greeley married a school-mistress whose be9uty was questionable, but whoso sense and goodness satisfied oce of the greatest men of his time.
General Sherman married the daughter of Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, who was a member cf General Taylor's Cabinet.— This alone would have been a good start in life for any young man. Jeff. Davis, for bis first wife, won the hand of Zscbary Taylor's daughter and Genera! Grant married a Miss Dent, of St. Louis. She apparently has more sense than show, and is fit for a President's wife.
A Congressional Abuse.
From llio IndianapolU Jonrnal, 30th A lady by the came of Tyler writes to the New York
independent
STATE
some facts in
regard to the female clerks in the government offices, which ought to be blown all over the land. She says, what is no doubt true, that Congressmen urge the appointment of their mistresses upon the Depai£ments. who are admitted without examination, and draw pay without labor, to the exclusion of decent and necessitous women. We copy one passage: "1 am Borry to make the confession, but tho truth forces it, that the departments are filled with fomale3—crowded, I may xy, with those who serve the Goverhmont in no other way than to em-ba'r-iES tbe public officials in tbe discharge of their duties. I could furnish the names ot scores and scores of women, whom the heads of departments have tried to get rid of for months and years, as being utterly worthless, yet have beon unable to do so owing to
outside influence.
1 could furnish the names of scores of womon who do not perform an hour's work per diem for the Government not in every instance because they do not have the work—there being too many engaged in the same labor. "In the Post Office Department the law provides for fifty female clerks, and desks are arranged tor tbat number yet ex-Postmaster General Randall appointed one hundred and five. During the two weeks immediately prior to hia exit he appointed thirty female olerks, and for what reason Heaven only knows, since nearly one-fifth of those already employed had nothing to do—nay, not even a seat in the office."
The superfluous clerks, she says, are put in their places by Congressmen, who thus provide a support for their paramours without any deduction from their own salaries and mileage. Such an outrage upon decency, to say nothing of the outrage upon deserving women thus excluded from support, should ruin any Congressman to whom a single recommendation of the class alluded to can be traced.

From St. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, March 30.—The losses by tbe steamboat fire last night are still uncertain, but the following are some of them:
The Henry Adkins was valued at $25,000 to $30,000. Insured for $11,000. The Ben Johnson worth $30,000. In surance not known. No cargo.
The Girard B. Allen was valued at $45,000. Insured for $30,000 in Pittsburg offices.
The Carrie V. Kauntz cost $27,500 and is said to be insured in Pittsburg for $15,000. She was nearly loaded.
The Fanny Soott had :_5 tons assorted cargo, the value of which is not known.— She was valued at $25,000.
The Armenia was a Pittsburg boat and had no cargo. Valued at $20,000. The Jennie Lewis was a Missouri River packet owned by the Star line, and was just about to leave with a full cargo and a large number of passengers. Sbe was valued at $40,000, and probably well insured.
Just as she bad dropped out into the stream, the Fanny Scott and Armenia floated down, and the people on them begged to be taken off. Capt. Mcpherson immediately steamed along side, and while taking the men off all the boats floated across the river, and tho Jennio Lewis grounded on the Illinois shore, and before she could get off the burning wreck of the Carrie Kauntz drifted against her, and in a short time all three of tho boats were burned to the water's edge.— When the Lewis caught fire there was terrible consternation among her passengers, and but for tbe coolness and bravery of Capt. McPherson many lives wouid have been lost.
The boat having caught fire at the bow all the usual means of escape were cut oil', but the Captain and other oflieer3 dropped tbe women and children down from tho rear guard of tho cabin deck lo the Mate and others on the main deck, and they in turn passed them to men standing waist deep in water, who carried them ashore. By this means all wore saved, but everything else was lost, tho passengers escaping with oc.ly what they had on.
The estimated loss of the cargo is $260,000, and on boats about $250,000.
.Virginia.
NEW YORK, March 30.—A Richmond special says Gen. Stoneman to-day issued an order continuing the sheriffs and magistrates, under Chapter 36, of the Code of Tirginis, in office, until their successors qualify.
This will probably stay tho official clash that has occured since the promai-* gation of Sloneman's sweeping removal order. The records show that the whole number of appointments made amount to tbe number of 2,554 of these 1G1 were made by Gen. Schcfield in 1807, and 371 in 1868.
The number of appointments mad« by Gen. Stoneman in 1868 numbered 175, and in 1869, 1,847. The whole .number of officers in the Slate is 5,461, of which 2,907 are yet to be filled.
Gen. Stoneman haB removed a number cf the former appointees, whose places he has also bad to fill. It is scarcely probable that the entire number of offi tial positions can be filled in tho next month, as their successors cannot b? found. No appointments to the offices of Auditor, Secretary of State, or Regisa O a been made.

After some discussion thbill passed. Ou motion of Mr. Butler, of Mess., ihe Constiiutiou formed for tbe State of Texas was ordered printed.
Mr. Hooper called up tho motion to reconsider the voto by which on tbo ISth inst., the bill to amend the act of Ju!y 20, 1868, imposing taxes on distilled spirits and tobacco, was referred to committeo on Ways aud Means.
The motion was reconsidered, and the bill came before the House for action. It, amends section 8 in referenco to the ownership of real estate on which distilleries stand, by allowing in certain cases bond to be taken*
It amends section 20 by providing that in distilleries of a producing capacity of les3 than 100 gallons in 24 hours, and in which grain or meal is mashed by hand without the use of steam, sixty gallons mash or beer brewed or fermented from grain shail represent not less than ono bushel of grain.
It amends section 56 by extending the time for drawing distilled spirits from warehouses until tbe 20th of April 1870, subject to additional tax of 1 per cent, per proof gallon per month.
It amends section 59 by designating who fhall bo regarded as rectifiers. It amends section 57 bv requiring all revenue taxes for packages of tobacco and snuff to bn numbered in continued series ior each collection district.
The second section requires statements of tho stock of tobacco, snutt' or cigars manufactured, and priees to November 31, 1863, on which tba tax has beed paid but no stamped, to bo made within sixty days. .The third section requires tho Commissioner of Internal Revunuo to have suitable special stamps provided.
The fourth etction prohibits withdrawfrom bonded warehouses of tobacc?, snuff or cigars, unless put up in packages and stamped
Mr. tloopcr explained the object and nvfoione of the bill. Dis- Uision took place in reference to tbo gar provisions, participated in by Hooper, Allison, Butler, (Mass.) Stevens and Judd,
Mr. Allison mooved to strike out the paragraph in reference to withdrawal of duiilled spirits from bonded warehouses, and argued in advocacy of bis motion.
Discussion on that subject was participated in by Messrs. Kelley, Butler, Logan, Garfield and others.
Mr. Logan declared that tho proposition extending the time for withdrawing whisky from bonded warehouse was in the interest of the whisky ring, and robbing the government of millions of dollars, and tbat it had its attorney in Washington, a man named Boyd, furnished with plenty of money.
Mr. Kelley favored the proposition, and gave reason wby it should be adopted. Mr. Butler desired the House to be very careful bow it passed tbis bill, because in relation to cigar stamps forged stamps could now be procured in New York at two dollars the 1,000, costing only a littlo more whon filled up, and whioh were' very difficult to detect. He distributed some specimens of forg«d stamps among tho members.
Mr. Schenck opposed the proposition and expressed himself in favor of requiring withdrawal of tbe whisky, so that those bonded warehouses should be closed up, that the tobacco stamps had been printed in a coarse way and on coarse paper, so if not largely counterfeited they might easily bo.
He believad the government was losiDg revenue largely on that account, by tobacco stamps being almost worthless.— This bill contained a remedy for that, aud therefore he was anxious for its passage.
Mr. Archer argued in favor of retain* ing tbe clause in reference to bondod warehouses, and declared that if there were attorneys on the one side of the question, there were also attorneys on the other, representing tho rich distillers.
The question was then taken on Mr. Allison a motion to strike out tho proposition extending the time for withdrawing whisky from bonded warehouses, and the provision was struck out, yeas 89, nays 59.
The bill then passed without division, and the House at 4J adjourned. ,^5 I
