THE City Council does not appear to be altogether "sound on the goose." After passing an ordinance restraining gees from running at large in the city, it took it all hack at the next meeting, and now the honorable Councilmen don't know what to do about it.

"DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY," SO far a this State is concerned, is splendidly il lustrated in the fact that the average tax. for purely local purposes, in the Democratic counties is 1.29 on the $100, while in Republicans counties it is but 94 cents on the $100.

FIRST ARRIVAL.—Two car loads of new railroad iron for the Evansville, Terre Haute and Chicago Railroad arrived from the east yesterday. This is the first lot received, and more will follow from day to day, so that it is expected the track laying will be commenced at an early day. The entire line from here north will be laid with the fish joint rail.

SOME REMARKS WITH A POINT.—To 'feel secure of your possessions is probably the essence of happiness. In the present state of social effervescence what a blessing it is to possess a good servant, honestly obtained! We say honestly obtainedj because servants, like many other things, are procured in various ways, wliich are anything but honest. They are often obtained by fraud, by false pretenses, by bribery and corruption, and by actual stealing. We suggest to our "housekeep-

Old Shakspeare says: "Who steals my purse steals trash," and then goes on to make a great fuss about his "good name," as if to filch from him his good name were anything to compare with abstracting a good servant! Shakspeare evidently lived in times when a family's happiness depended not nearly so much upon good and efficient servants. The fact is, for cool effrontery, commend us to women—those, too, of the class who insist upon being called ladies. They have they coolest heads and the most daring hands that we know.

Housekeeping has many evils and many cares and annoyances, and inefficient servants are not the least of them. Therefore, when we have a good servant, there is nothing that so "plays hobb" (as the saying is) with domestic arrangements as the bribing or stealing of her away. And this is done every day. Some women in this community have become noted for this species of trespass. From all such) we can with great unction exclaim, ''Good Lord, deliver us."

A CASE OF BUGS—THE MORAL OF IT. —Yesterday morning an individual whose appearance indicated anything but a hard or ordinary drinker, entered a certain saloon in this city and called for a whisky straight. Just as he was about to quaff the contents of the glass before him, he observed at the end of the counter a forlorn-looking specimen of the genus toper busily engaged in pulling something which he could not discover from his mouth: "Hallo!" says the patron, sitting down his glass untouched, "what's the matter with that man?" "A ease of bugs," replied the barkeeper. "Bugs?" "Yes, bugs."

This was something new to the interrogator so, being possessed of a curiosity to know what a case of bugs was, he approached the individual who had the bugs and queried: •'My good man, what is the matter?" "Bugs, bugs, in my mouth don't von see 'em and away commenced the buginllictecl person pulling at what he supposed to oc bugs. "But I don't see any bugs," says the unsophisticated searcher after knowledge. "No," says the bar-keeper, advancing, "you can't see them now, but if you had poured down as much liquor as he, you would not only see them out have them." "Oh! l.see a case of snakes," as the light dawned upon him. "Not exactly snakes, but as bad." "Well, barkeeper, I guess I won't take a drink this morning," and out strode the searcher of facts favorably impressed with the idea of temperance.

MORAL.—Barkeepersshould not philosophize on the ill effects of their liquids, nor keep subjects on the premises afflicted with bugs.

CONSIDERING the inclemency of the weather on Saturday evening a very gocd audicnce assembled at the Wigwam to hear twenty-minute speeches from a number of gentlemen. Tout's Band discoursed a number of airs in their usual acceptable manner. The three first speakers on the list, Messrs. Baird, Pierce and Hamilton, failed to put in an appearance. Mr. Allen, being next on the list, made a short speech and was followed by Judge Crain in a speech of almost an hour, in which he calmly and forcibly presented the I beauties of "Democratic economy." The exercises were closed with a telling little talk by B. Wilson Smith, which elicited hearty applause.

ON last Saturday night, as we learn from the Brazil <Miner>, the miners and other laboring men of Clay county, held a convention in Knightsville for the purpose of bringing out a county and township ticket, represented by candidates whoses interests are identified with those of the laboring masses. This ticket is in opposition to the Democratic nominees, and promises to be a formidable opposition. The convention endorsed and adopted the independent candidates as the laboring man's ticket, adding thereto the names of I. J. Nicason, Jr of Van Buren, and James T. Carrithers, of Jackson, for Commissioners, Thomas D. Johns, of Brazil, for Surveyor, and Dr. J. C. Giftard, of Brazil, for Coroner. ———————

TERRIBLE FALL,.—On Tuesday evening Miss Caroline Davis, a young lady residing in the southeast part of the city while engaged in drawing water at a well, slipped and fell head foremost to the bottom of the well, some forty feet. Singular as it may appear, she was but slightly .injured. Her cries attracted the attention of a gentleman near by, who went down, and attaching a rope around her body drew her to the surface, more frightened than hurt, by her sudden and involuntary bath. ————————

THE new route from Indianapolis to St. Louis, via Vandalia, is eminently a Terre Haute road, the President, Secretary and Auditor, General Superintendent, Treasurer and Paymaster being permanent residents of this city men who have grown up with the same and take a deep interest in every move tending to the advancement and prosperity of ferre Haute.

ACCIDENT.—Yesterday evening the wife of Martin Gallagher, the drayman, while engaged in cutting feed with a cut-ting--box, suffered the amputation of two fingers on the left hand by being caught in the knives.

A LITTLE lecture on womanliness is given us "by the Saturday Review, which is worthy of your hearing." We read it with emphasis that all you may hear and be profited thereby. The writer tells us that of all kinds of beauty that which is included in what we mean by womanliness is the greatest and most beautiful. A womanly woman has neither vanity nor hardness. She may be pretty, most likely she is, and she may know it, for, not being a fool, she cannot help seeing

ing ladies that if they have a good ser- it when she looks at herself in the glass but knowing the fact is not being conscious of the possession, and a pretty woman, if of the right ring, is not vain, prizes her beauty as she ought. And she is as little hard as vain. Her soul is not^given up to ribbons, but neither is she indifferent to externals, and to dress among them. She knows that part of her natural mission is to please and be charming, and she knows that dress sets her off, and that men feel more enthusiastically toward her when she is looking fresh and pretty than when she is a dowdy and a*fright. And, being womanly, she likes the admiration of men, and thinks their love abetter thing than their indifference. If she likes men she loves children, and neither shunts them to the nnrsey siding nor frets over her miseries when forced to have them about her.

vant, give her a bad name among their acI quaintances. If you do not, she will be bribed, or false-pretended, or stolen from I you, or an attempt will.be made to bribe or steal her, to a dead certainty. Burns tells us that

Man's inhumanity to man Makes countless thousands mourn." But the inhumanity part of the business is not confined to the men. The women —those who would tear your eyes out if you were to accuse them of havicjr .stolen your purse women whose hu--ands would try to knock you down or shoot you if you intimated the least suspicion that the darlings were not ladies—these fair but fearless creatures will send for your servant, offer her larger compensation, will tell her she will have less work to do will romance with her in the most serious way will do anything to lead away and astray that good, but haply weak servant. Now, if this is not actual bribery and corruption, if it is not plainly a felony, we would like to be taught the true and proper significance of these words. Were such women to enter the parloi'of a neighbor and take her silver card basket or a photograph of her husband, or even her husband himself, the theft might be forgiven, for all of these can be quickly and easily replaced. But to take the neat, quick and tidy house-girl, or the gentle, affectionate and watchful nurse—the idol-of the children—or the honest and efficient cook, why it is worse than any felony or other high crime or misdemeanor.

She knows that she was designed by God and nature for a mother, sent into the word for that purpose mainly, and she knows that rational maternity, means more than simply giving life, and then leaving it to others to preserve it. She has no newfangled notions about the animal character of motherhood, or about the degrading charaeter of housekeeping. On the contrary, she thinks a populous and happy nursery one of the greatest blessings of her state, and she puts her pride in the perfect ordering, the exquisite arrangements, the comfort, thoughtfulness, and beauty of her house. She is not above her metier as a woman, and she does not want to ape the manliness she can never possess.

She has always been taught that, as there are certain manly virtues, so there are certain feminine ones and that she is the most womanly among women who has those virtues in greatest abundance and in the highest perfection. She has taken it to heart that patience, self-sacri-fice, tenderness, quietness, with some others, of which modesty is one, are the virtues more especially feminine just as courage, justice, fortitude and the like, belong to men. Passionate ambition, virile energy, the love of strong excitement, self-assertion, fierceness, and an undisciplined temper, are all qualities which detract from her ideas of womanliness, and which make her less beautiful than she was meant to be consequently she has cultivated all the meek and tender affections,all the unselfishness and thought for others which have hitherto been the distinctive property of woman, by the exercise of which she has done her best work( and earned her highest place. She thinks it no degradation that she should take pains to please, to 'soothe, to comfort the man who all day long has been doing irksome work that her home may be beautiful and her life at ease*. She does not think it incumbent on her, as a woman of spirit, to fly out at an impatient word, to answer back a momentary irritation with defiance, to play Roland to his Oliver her womanliness inclines her to loving forbearance, to patience under difficulties, to unwearied cheerfulness under such portion of the inevitable burden as may have been laid on her she does not hold herself predestined by nature to receive only the best of everything, and deem herself affronted where her cross is bound on her shoulders.- Rather, she understands that she too must take the rough with the smooth but that, as her husband's way in life is rougher than hers, his trials greater, his burden heavier, it is her duty—and her privilege—to help him all she-can with her tenderness and her love and to give back to him at home, if in a different form, some of the care he has expended while abroad to make her path smooth. In a word, the womanliness which we all once loved and have still a kind of traditional belief in, is the womanliness that regards the wishes of men as of some weight in female .action—that holds to love rather than opposition to reverence, not defiance that takes more pride in her husband's fame than in her own that'glories in the protection of his name, and in her state as wife that feels the honor given to her as wife and matron far dearer than any she may earn for personal prowess and that believes in her consecration as a helpmeet for man, not in a rivalry which a few generations will ripen into a coarse and bitter enmity.

THE COURTS.—In the Criminal Court yesterday Adolph Meyer was fined five dollars and costs for selling liquor to a minor. John Kelly was recognized to keep the peace on complaint of his wife Ellen.

The Common Pleas Court was engaged during the afternoon in hearing the case of Davis <vs> Davis, a suit for divorce. The evidence was all in last evening, but the Court reserved a decision.

In the progress of this case a prominent physician was called to the witness stand and proceeded to give a complete diagnosis of the injured wife's ailment, throwing out latin phrases and technical terms with the rapidity of mitrailleur, to the utter astonishment of Judge, Bar and audience, when the Court interrupted him by asking if the complaint was not commonly called back-ache! This brought down, the house, and the balance of the doctor's testimony was given in plain English. ———————

NORTHWEST INDIANA CONFERENCE.— Mast of the preachers of the Northwest Indiana Conference arrived in the city yesterday. The day was spent in the examination of classes. The law of the M. E. Church prescribes a four years'course of study, and licentiates are required to pass satisfactory examinations, annually, as a condition of admission into the Conference and election to elder's orders. Professor Wiley of Greencastle preached the Annual Conference Sermon last night. Thediscourse was thoroughly evangelical and eminently appropriate. Bishop Simpson will open the regular session of the Conference this morning in Centenary Church. The sessions will be open to visitors the entire week.

ONE of the most beatiful panoramic views of the city to be found is from the dome of the new Opera House. The city spreads out below, almost covered by the luxurant foliage of the shade trees. To the east, north, and south the prairie spreads out its smooth carpet of green, fringed at the edge with thickly growing forest trees. The view is well worth a climb up the long ladders. —i •', J, 4' "WHERE do the children come from?" exclaimed Superintendent Wiley yesterday evening after having visited all the schools. The rooms are more crowded than ever, some rooms have as many as one hundred and twenty-five children.— Of course, is an utter impossibility for one teacher to impart proper instruction to so great a number. Until the new school houses are completed rooms will be rented and assistant teachers employed

VOORHEES AT CHICAGO.—The

Triubne

Chicago

sent a reporter to report Mr.

Voorhees' speech on Wednesday, before the Beta Theta Pi Society. Here is the result of his undertaking:

CITY EDITOR: Please to accept my resignation as a member of the local stafl and place the same on file. I went as desired, to report Mr. Voorhees' oration in Crosby Music Hall. I did my level best to listen to it, and to make notes. He spoke for nearly an hour. I have reported Ralph Waldo Emerson and Geo. Francis Train, but this man is beyond my powers. I caught up with him occasionally on Zoroaster, and Moses, and the other fire-worshippers, because I have just been reading some of Max Muller's lectures on the science of religion, but he went off the track so fearfully that couldn't follow him. I really couldn't make oat what he was talking about. As near as I could Cgure it, it was something about the elements, especially fire and tSe human race. I offered an intelltoual looking person who sat next to me, the Bum of $10 to give me an intelligible summary of the speech, and he told me that in his opinion Mr. Voorhees was proposing a conundrum. There was one man in the audience who seemed capable of comprehending the drift of-the oration and he fell asleep. After it was all over, I interviewed several gentlemen, with a view of ascertaining what the lecture was aimed at, but with no satisfactory result. One man told me that the subject was "The Influence of the Material UI

ni verse

upon the Human Understanding," but I didn't believe him. I sat it all through —honest. The following is the nearest 1 can get to the substance of the lecture: "An old horse came in to be shaved. Curse yon, where's the suds? The estate was sold to male" heire, and poor Mrs, Mollie lost all her apple dumplings?" may add that the orator was applauded when he concluded his oracular utter ances, and loudly encored. I then left.

Yours, Ac.

THE re-establishment of the Female College in this city has been repeatedly urged by us as a matter of grave importance to the Educational interests of our community.

Having learned that the Methodist Episcopal Church of Indana, has contemplated action leading to such an enterprise, we think the session now being held here by one of the Conferences of the State, presents a most favorable opportunity for the assembled clergy to see the property, and judge of its admirable adaptation to the purposes of a first class Female Academy. We understand it can be purchased at a most reasonable price and on favorable terms, and trust that the opportunity to secure it may be embraced by the Methodists.

FROM the Greencastle <Press> we have the following particulars attending, the terrible death of William Butler, the father of Will D. Butler, of this city:

About 6 o'clock he went into a field to feed his stock, and was discovered shortly afterwards in a dying condition, and lingered till 2 o'clock this morning, when death ensued. He was able to give an intelligible account of the accident which befel him, which was that he had been attacked by a young bull in crossing a field, and being unable to defend himself or alarm the inmates of the house, he was left completely at the mercy of the infuriated beast. His entrails were torn out and his body gored in several places. Mr. Butler was upwards of 70 years of age, and leaves a wife and four or five children to mourn his loss. ———————

DIED—At his residence, in this city, on Monday morning, John G. Ross, in the sixty-fifth year of his age.

Mr. Eoss has been a resident of this city for more than a quarter of a century and lias been largely engaged in mercantile pursuits in our midst. He was a man of fine business ability, intelligent and energetic in his avocations and successful in all his undertakings. Ilis health has beeh infirm for some time past, and he gradually passed fronv life, lamented by large circle of friends and acquaintances.

TJIE CENSUS RETURNS of the District comppsed of the townships of Riley, Linton and Pierson have been filed in the office of the United States Marshal. The following is the aggregate enumeration of population in 1860 and 1870: 1860. 1870. Riley. 1,366 1,453 Pierson 1,241 1,491 Linton 1,273 1,440

OUR MAYOR.—Under the head of "editorial odds and ends," we find the following in the New York <Globe>:

The Water Works Committee of Terre Haute intended to visit Dayton on the 18th, but the Mayor refused to leave town on a circus day, as he had his pocket full of passes.

We plead guilty to having started the item, which is not altogether unsupported by fact. ———————

THE census of the city has been completed, so far as the enumeration is concerned, but the returns for a portion of it have not been forwarded to the U. S. Marshal. We cannot, therefore, ascertain the exact number of population, but understand that it will be about sixteen thousand three hundred. These figures show an increase of one hundred per cent, since 1860. ———————

MARRIAGE LICENSES.—The iollowing licenses were issued by the County Clerk last week: Andrew Whitney and Charity Whitney. George W. Garrett and Mary E. Stevens. Joseph C. H. "Wheeler and Sarah Evani. Robt. A. Brown and Mary E. Norton. Martin B. Tarvin and Mary S. Hermelin

GREEN TROT.—Jones & Jones, the en terprising agricultural implement men, with characteristic liberality, have added a new feature to the County Fair this week, which offers a chance for country boys to compete for a special premium of twenty dollars in gold. It is an old fashioned trot, open to all green trotters, oatside of any town, under the saddle or in harness. The trot will take place at the Fair Grounds on Friday at one o'clock.— There will doubtless be many entries, much fun, and many people to see it.

THE Postmaster-General has issued an order requiring the name and address of the sender of a registered letter or package to be affixed to the same, and, in case of non-delivery, the registered letter or package will be returned directly to the office from which it is sent for delivery to the sender, without, as now, being returned through the Dead Letter Office. In case the sender of a letter or package thus returned cannot be found, it will then go to the Dead Letter Office and be treated as other mail matter. ———————

His funeral was preached Monday by ilev. B. Wilson Smith. One of the largest gatherings, including all the old settlers of that part of the county, ever assembled in that section attended his funeral. Thus the pioneers pass away in quick succession.

The Shivering: Season.

The loss of the laboring clnsscs of the United States caused by fever and ague, has been estimated at upwards of two millions of dollars per annum. Whole settlement arc sometimes prostrated by the disease, and it is regarded in some localities, as one of those visitations of providence which cannot be avoided. This is a mistake. As certainly as any of the evils which are invited by neglect may be forestalled by precaution—so certainly may an attack of intermittent (or remittent) fever be prevented by invigorating the system with Hostetter's Stomach Bitt-rs, in advance of the season, at which this malady prevails. Prevention, it is needless to say, is tho wisest policy but it is consoling to know that whore UHC has not been thus taken by the forelock, and the proxsyms have actu\lly coramcncod, a complete cure may, in all cases, be rapidly effected by the use of this powerful vegetable tonic. The reputation of the Bitters as a specific for dyspepsirj liver complaint, consumption and nerviors debility, has in some measure thrown into the shade its merits as a preventive and cure of other ailments, but all who have ever taken it, either as a protection against or a rem-e--!y for malarious fevers, will admit that it surpassess in efficicnoy all the so-called specifics (including quinine, 1 usually prescribed for these maladies, while it is at the same time entirely harmless and decidedly palatable. spTdwlw

Now may the winter of your discontent be made glorious summer by this sun of HENDERSON'S, and the dirty, smoky Stoves that smoulder in your house, be in the deep bosom of the ocean (or second-hand stores) buried. Grim visaged war, among stove men, is not going to smooth his wrinkled front, this season, as HENDERSON is receiving the largest and best selected stock of Heating, Parlor, and Cook Stoves ever before brought to Terre Haute, and challenge the world to compete with him in quality or prices. One hundred different patterns are ready in the house, and more are constantly arriving. No matter what stove you may take a fancy to, in another store, go to HENDERSON'S and you will there find the same thing, and, very possibly, some other stove that you will like better. You can at least see there,
