BOSS TWEED.

NEW YORK. iNovember 14.—The piob abilities of Tv/eed fleeing from the city are still the subject of much dirCU=sion. It is stated on very reliable authority that he han about perfected his arrangements for flight, and that any moment may witness his departure. Yesterday he was said to be trying to di^pore of hin stock the Krie railroad. Well informed Tammany ites think it will take him some time to render portable his great wealth, but it is definitely known that mo-it, if not all his property has been undergoing conversion into greenbacks for a long while pa^t, and •that his many assignments make it a matter of ease for him to leave on short notice. Tweed resignation is believed to be in the hands of Mayor Hull, and will probably be made public in a few days.

No selection has vet been niu.de to fill his 'place/though the Mayor has been endeavioHpg to forcc the oflice upon several.

SCARCITY OF OFFICEHOLDERS. There is much difficulty in obtaining men to accept any of the vacant offices under Tammany. Since the election the Mayor has been unable to get persons to take several important places recently made vacant, there is ao htlletime between now and the meeting of the Legislature, when it is expected that the city government will be reca.it. It is likely the vacancies existing will continue nntil that time.

SEASONABLE REFLECTIONS.—The fall rains and storms are as old as creation— the cloudless days of autumn and the smoky but delightful period of Indian summer, were reverenced by our ancestors a thousand years ago. It is apparent that all things are being worked up for the introduction of cold air, frozen ground, fields covered with snow, fierce north winds, and trees stripped of foliage. The ^atmosphere is just now in the Almighty's alembic where it is being prepared for its traffic the coming winter. Even at the present time great coats and shawls are not only convenient but comfortable, and fires in the parlor and sitting rooms are eagerly sought after. The nights are growing long, and in the quiet of our homes we all again have an opportunity for rest and improvement. To all our young friends, especially, we say improve these golden opportunities. Learn something that will be of some value to ycu when, in the coming years, you are compelled to fight life's battle alone. Reader, are you a young man, improve the precious moments pp3nd your evenings at home, or in your rooms or offices, fitting yourselves for pomething mo~e elevating and laudable than thai of a billiard athlete. Great responsibilities rest upon you for from your ranks the nation will yet demand recruits for the legislative halls, the bar, the pulpit, the army, Lhe

Time once gone can never be recalled, aad itis important that every moment should be employed profitably as it flick As we sow in the springtime of life, so shall we gather in the autnmn of our existence. "Be virtuous and you will be •happy.",-..

A REMARKABLE CASE.—A careful ob servation of the proceedings of our courts oftentimes reveals facts that are truly calculated to weaken our faith in their purity, and to lessen onr respect 'or the majesty of the law. We confess with deep regret that the popular saying —"money will do anything'—» not alw*yR wholly untrue.

At (he recent term of the Clay Circuit Court in the case of the State vs. Bern is and Miller for stealing wheat, we are far nished a lamentable instance. The facts in the case are as follows: In the month of October 1867. sotrfe twenty bushels of wheat were stolen from a barn in Clay county and sold early the following morning at one of the leading flouring ffiSllg this city. The wheat was missed early in-the morning and traced directly to its destination in market, and though the noctUTjial thieves had made good their escape a combination of circumstances and identification seemed to fasten the girilt npcm the proper parties, who were arrested the same evening at Brazil. Under the privilage of the law changes of Venue were taken before three several -Justice's courts in Clay county, and three davs and as many nights were lout the preliminary proceedings.

The parties were then bound over to Court- Subsequently Miller turned State's evidence. The case has been before the courts twice yearly since that time- being continued from time to time by what were uniformly understood by every party outside the court as frivolous excuses backed by the usual affidavits. At the present term the case was thrown out of court, at the request of all the prosecuting witnesses, for the reason that justice could not be obtained and the wiU nesses could not afford the expense. The prosecuting attorney on the occasion made a hamorous speech. Hon. Wm. Mack, of this city was on the Bench and also made a few remarks, commenting that, thu was one of those cases damaging to the reputation of the courts, and a farce on justice."

This being a Slate case the witnesses got no fee-s. The original value of the wheat was $67 50. A witness from this City figures IDS outlay as fohows attendance OR court eleven times traveling expenses $24 00: board S24 00 time, 21 days. $63 00: total $111 00. Mulliplying this amount by the whole number (30) of witnesses, and we have $3,330 00, the Millers and Bemises claim to have paid lawyers' fees. Stc..to theamounto/ $2,000, making the total cost $o,o30.

In his final speech the prosecuting attorney remarked that during the continuance of these cases several of the witnesses had died, and many others had grown from boyhood to be old men. One of the lawyers on the defense (Rose) had become palsied in hi.- right arm, another (Coffee) had nearly gone blind, while the third one (Williamson) had become weak in the small of the back—all writing affidavits and studying pretenses for continuances. All the witnesses "have learned that it is better to know nothing of wrong doings, in the future—that tocloae their'eves and suppress all knowledge of crimes committed is essentially and practically only the exercise of the principle of self-protection.

And thus do our courts encourage the commission of crime. Is there no remedy?

OPUMRI-ERS. In everv community there are grumblers who make it a point to speak disparagingly of every public enterprise, and cry down every attempt of their neighbors to do anything new. These grumblers will aggregate every defect in home industry, and make faults appear where there are none. Anybody or .-invihing that conies from abroad is all right- In the opinion of these grumblers there is no wisdom and no good unless they come from faraway or originate in'the narrow minds of these growlers. The only way to encourage home enterprise a.id thus bring prosperity to the whole community is to speak well of every laudable attempt lo do a good thing. YY'e must moke it easy and pleasant for our neighbors to engage in that -which is right and promises good. Let us kindle no back tires and throw no cold water upon thai which may lend to build up this thriving community. Everything that tends te develop our industry, is beneficial to the community. Every one is richer on account of the enterprise and prosperity of any individual.

How GIRLS MAY BE HEALTHY.—YVe make the following extract from an article on "American YVomen," by Elisabeth Dudley, published in the New York "Evening Mail:"

Let a girl, during the years from twelve to eighteen, spend but one hour daily in mental labor, taking up one study at a lime, walk another hour, labor at some agreeable employment three or four hours, read an hour, sleep all she wants during the night, but never take daytime naps, eat plain, nourishing food, mostly bread and roasted or boiled beef, and every day indulge in all the fun and frolic which her youthful spirits can devise, and she will become healthy, happy and intelligent. Then from eighteen to twenty one she may attend V"a«sar or any other collige, and fhe will find herself better able to carry off priees than the girls who have been always at school. But she will not have developed wiry, muscular strength equal to the young men of her own age, because Nature has forbidden it A girl is provided from birth with moie adipose tissue than a boy, not as some suppose, to keep her warm, but to render her muscles more juicy, soft ar.d yielding than his. The investigations of some anatntni-ts have also proved that her body contains a much greater number of nerves, and that her arterial system on approaching womanhood become* more largely developed than his. I therefore can not at *11 agree with the writer who says "we see no way onl of tttis difficulty bat to commence with the cradle, and educate boys as nearly like girls as possible."

YValkin and horseback riding, when practised with judgment, and not carried to the point of severe fatigue, have been ftfund great aids to girls in the establishment of good health, and n?eful out door employment answer the same purpose, especially when the mind is agreeably occupied.

DISTRIBUTION OF SUFPLTES IN CHICAGO.—Our people, who contributed so liberally for the relief of Chicago snfferers will be interested in knowing that the distribution of supplies is managed with great system and efficiency. The aid and relief society which has charge of this work, was already organized and. working at the time of the fire, and expanded its operations to meet the exigencies of the case. Of course, at the outset, there was some waste, for people who came for aid. claiming to be in destitute circumstances, could not be ^refused- Within a very few days, how ever, the circumstances of all applicants were investigated, and the worthless drones rapidly weeded ont. To meet the needs of the workmgmen and their fami lies for shelter during the winter, five thousand houses have been contracted for sixteen by twenty-four feet, containing two rooms, lined with paper and furnished with a cooking^stove—for one hundred and four dollars a house. Those who are able have the privilege of paving for their houses, and those who are -not able are furnished with easy terms. This sort of enterprise is manifested in all matters and it is easy to predict that the fruit will be 6een in a wonderful recuperation of the burned city. a

Tlic honlhn est Railroad. W MB. EDITOR:—lhe people over here are growing impatient about the Southwestern Railroad project. The people have been disappointed so often in the^e railroad movemenis that they will not move in this matter until some power is set at work that will promise success. The people along the line of the^e roads can do but little, comparatively, towards the building of the road. YYe look to Terre Haute to take the lead, as she is to be mostly benefitted by the construction of this-read. A line of road from Terre Haute to Olney or Ixewton and thence westward toward Iron Mountain, Mo- would pass through a wide, fertile scope of countrv without railroad facilities and would far better subserve the interests of the country than the proposed lines of roads from Danville, Paris, Marshall and Vincennes, or via Ca^ey to Olney We know is to our interest to have a direct connection with lerre Haute and eastern markets. \Ye know it will not pay to send our products to Chicago from this localitv. The price of produce at Terre Haute, even, is very near up to the Chicago markets. The people will do their part when the matter is fairly placed before them. YY hy delay this matter? YVhy not let this be an extension of your Cincinnati road? No road will add more to the trade of your city. It is just what vou need, and what we must have. ..F ILLINOIS.

LEAP FROO.—The following item from an exchange saves lis the trouble of writing what we have been on the point of doing for several days. It is as good here as anywhere, so we reproduce it: "Leap frog" is in season among the masculine juvenile boys of this city. YYrherever you see four boys together, verily three of them are turned upside down, and the foarth is vaulting over their inverted forms. So great is the leap frog mania, that when a boy finds himself alone he will jump back and forth over the nearest post, for hours, or until he sees another boy in the dim distance, when he straight screams out, "Bend your head snd make* a rush for him like a runaway comet, and either vaults over the new comer's head or breaks his neck. It's a very interesting sport.

All others are base counterfeits ir imitations. Remember this and you will be sure to get the genuine.

TERRE HAUTE.

Somebody has been here recently "and Was so charmed that he had to write up the town. His letter was printed in the Cincinnati "Times and Chronicle," and we extract a portion of it, as follows:

THE PRAIEIE CITY.

Terre Haute is undoubtedly the most admirable little city in Indiana, if not in the country. It is beautiful for situa tion. to begin with, nestling, as it does, in the broad bosom of a beautifully undu laUng prairie: and it is beautiful, besides, for its handsome streets, lined with handsome residences or fine business blocks, ten. fifteen or twenty years in advance of the times—not the Cincinnati "Times." of course, but the times we live in. Gen eral Charley Craft, the man whose name is always spelled wrong in the dispatches, •nformed us (hat Terre Haute had never been written up for any paper, and. as a compliment to one of the best towns in Indiana, I have undertaken the pleasing task.

DISTINGUISHED CITIZENS.

Gentle reader, didst ever ride on'a buck-board.' Happy the man who an* swers -nay" to this querv. A buck-board is a—well, its -a board on wheels, with a bench in the middle, on which the unhappy proprietor does penance by "bucking'' along the highway with just as little rimfort as mav consist with voluntary locomotion. How the buck-board became an 'institution'' of this citv nobodv knows: how it manages to retain its popularity is even a greater mystery. If ltu continuance in office was to be enforced by law there would be a gigantic rebellion on the YVabash at once: but as long as fashion dictates, the nuisance will probi-blv be perpetuated.

OTHER FEATURES.

Because I happened to switch off on the subject of buck-boords it must not be inferred that my list of notable citizens was complete. On the contrary, as I said before, lerre Haute has material enough to furnish Governors. Senators, statesmen of high and low degree, and railroad magnates, too. for the entire commonwealth. If she has not the richest man in Indiana she seconds ^iew Albany's Del'auw in the person of her Chauncey Rose, whose check for a lithe of his weallh would set up a very respectable banking-house in 2sew \ork City. She has an artesian well. too. and a famous echo, and an opera house, and half a dozen railroads, and the oil fever, and iree daily papers, and street railroads, and coal fields, right up at her door: and manufactories of all kinds in ceaseless operation, and an intelligent, relined. harmonious society, which puts to shame some of her sister cities, laken altogether. Terre Haute mav be esteemed the pride of Indiana outside the capital citv of the State.

'J'.

THE OIL WELLS VAST,

It is an established fact that lubricating oil may be found underlying this city, and though the depth of the wells makes thcin expensive investments, the yield of oil has thus far proved fully satisfactory. Ten thousand dollars will sink a well aud set it in operation, after which a yield of from fifteen to. twenty-five barrels per diem may be counted on. The production is a lair quality of lubricating oil. and finds a ready sale. Owing lo the prevalent distrust of oil speculations now-a-days. there is little or no excitement upon the subject here, but tho.'o who are at work pronounce themselves well sat-

isfied.

NEW RAILROADS

An air-line road between Chicago and this point will be in operation in a l«w weeks, and promises to do a large freight business, particularly in carrying our excellent Indiana block coal to Chicago and Nortwestern markets. An air-line KJ Cincinnati, penelrating the coal heuls and stone quarries, is being discussed, but seems to languish for lack of interest at, your end of lhe line. YVhile is true that in ordinary times Cincinnati finds her cheapest fuel in Pennsylvania, the present low stage of the Ohio river shows the importance ofc-having other rcsonrces in emergencies, and the Terre llaiue and Cincinnati Air-Line presents a solution of this difficulty, to say nothing of the vast field of trade it will open up iothe Queen City.

THK CITY AT NIGHT.

Though metropolitan in many respects. Terre Haute presents some provincial features to the stranger gaze. 1 went touighl to a minor theatre, and was disappointed. in common with the rest of the audience, at the non-appearance of the orchestra. The orchestra was probably drunk, as ths manager hopefully announced that the musicians would he "all right" on tiie succeeding evning. Lpon leaving the hall at an early hour, in order to linish this letter, my progress was impeded by the gvrations of a policcman an a hilarious individual who wanted to go upstairs, while th-2 ofiicer wanted to put him in his little bed. The overpowering influence of Terre Haute whisky is proverbial, and I felt like advising the solitary orchestra to go over io Indianapolis and get =ober if he wanted to play the succeeding evening. As the poet YYatts his name feelingly remarks.

Thcso three points aro the gateways into three great sections of ibe tra jg-iliseouri region.

The Northern gate is Omaha, where the great Pacific road will take you to tho land of gold and grapes, sunny mountains, and perpetual summer.

Tho middle gate is Plattsuiouth, which opens upon tho south half o'^ebrniks, south of the Platte river, a regisn unsurpassed on tho continent for agriculture and grazing. Just here are the B.
