IT IS a matter of serious complaint, at Indianapolis, that the officers of the new hotel company have been unable to build a $200,000 hotel with $100,000.

THE Hartford (Conn.) "Times" says Mr. GREELEY "never attacked the Tammany Ring with half HO much vigor as he has Bhown in attacking Gen. GRANT."

THE demise of the New Albany "Daily Tribune" is a source of regret to Republicans, although the event was not unexpected

TnE "Inter Ocean" succeeds the "Chicago Republican." It is a good sized and rather good looking sheet, and, with Buch a man as LICE IIALFOBD for chief editor, cannot but be a great improvement on its predecessor.

THE Vincennes "Sun" thinks that, in case Mr. DEPAUW. declines the Democratic nomination for Lieutenant-Govern-or, it is more than probable the position will be tendered to Hon. JAMES D. WILLIAMS, of Knox county.

SENATOR SUMNER is not long for this political world, if we may believe the Boston "Traveller," which says: "No man in Massachusetts ever lost so completely the confidence of his friends as lias our senior Senator."

THE contest for the United States Seniitorship promises to be very exciting in New llamiishire. The average now is about one new candidate a day. The Boston "Times" thinks large part of the population of the Granite State would evidently like to emigrate to Washington.

FROM the Madison "Courier" we learn that ^JOHN II. IIOLLIDAY, editor of the .Indianapolis "Evening News," has accepted an invitation to deliver (headdress before the Philal. Society of Hanover College, June 12, on the occasion of presenting the diplomas to the graduating class.

THE Republicans of Iowa and Ohio hold their Slate Conventions to day. Advices from koth locr.litiw indicate that the delegates to the Philadelphia Convention will be instructed for there-nom-ination of President GRANT, with JAMES F. AVILSON, in the former State, and exGovernor PENNISON, in the latter, for Vice President.

WE ARE glad to learn that a new paper'is to be started at Montgomery, Alabama, on the 4th of April, to be called the Republican Sentinel/' Its publishers propose to make it a thorough Republican journal, aud it will earnestly support the nominees of the Philadelphia Convention, seeking the success and true interests of Republicanism alone. ^..

AN exchange calls attention to the cheering fact that the New York "Tribune" is making rapid progress. It has already got so far as to say that "Frank Leslie's" artist, lately iuiported-from England to help the Democracy—which he has done rather bunglingly a# yet—"has done good political service of late," and to call NAST "Harper's pictorial blackguard."

ONE of the best acts Congress has done for along time was the pat-sage of a bill last week prohibiting the employes of the departments to act as agents or attorneys for prosecution of claim* within two years after leaving office.

AS SEXTON, of Rush.

SENATOR SUMNER has had ''bombshell" enough "in his'n." He protests against being examined before the Sale of Arms Investigating Committee. This will not satisfy those friends of the Senator who were looking for tremendous reveiatiom when he took the witness stand

THE Boston "Journal" baa actually paid a compliment to General BUTTER while snubbing SCMNER and others for leaving the Republican party. It says the former has been even a better Republican since than he was before the rough-and-tumble fight of last summer. The "Times" thinks the "Journal" is undoubtedly "hedging," preparatory to giving the General a hearty support for the Governorship next fall.

DURING the latest debate in the Senate, on the sale of American arms to the French, Senator HAMLIS said he held in his hand an article from the "Nord Deutsche Allemaine Zeitung," and transferred it to Senator SCHURZ, who read it, saying that the paper was printed at Berlin, and was an official organ. The following sentence occurs therin: "We believe we are well informed when we Fay that our government takes no interest, or at most only a negative one, in the questions which Sumner has brought before the American Senate."

THE Indianapolis "Journal" of yesterday says: "The last breeze from the north bears the omii^U3 tidings that the unterrified Democracy of Tipton coumy have resolved, in their county convention, that they will have no lot nor part in the renomination of the present corp.^ of "able and honest' Democratic State officers. The Tipton brethren are thoroughly disgUBted with BKIGHT'S book paper business, the school fund maneuvers of SHOEMAKER, BEMUSDAFFER'S land transactions, and Attorney General IIANNA'S enormous appetite for stationery, and they demand, in tones of thunder, an entirely new slate."

THE Ohio Republican State Convention meets at Columbus today. Delegates to the Philadelphia Convention are to be chosen and a State ticket put in nomination. A well-informed Cincinnati paper believes that Mr. JOHN WELCH will be renominated for Judge of the Supreme Court, and R. R. PORTER for member of the Board of Public Works. A. T. WYKOFF, of Adams county, appears to have the lead for Secretary of State. A Congressman-at-Large will also be nominated by the Convention, if deemed expedient. This will depend on the probable action of the Legislature on the Congressional Redistricting question at this session.

STOCK-RAISING in Texas is carried on to an extent hardly to be appreciated hit by studying the figures. Our Vigo county farmers must open their eyes pretty wide when they read of farms containing 50,000 acres and feeding as many cattle. Colonel Richard King probably owns and manages the largest "stock farm" in this or any other country. He has 84,132 acres of land, stocked with 64,000 cattle, 10,000 horses, 7,000 sheep and 8,000 goats. For the management of these immense herds, 300 Mexicans aud 1,000 saddle-horses are held in constant requisition. Another "ranclfe" has 50,000 acres and as many cattle, while herds containing 30,000 "head" are spoken of as "small" herds. And so from a small beginning in 1848 the stock business now has become a magnificent industry.

IT IS a courious fact that in the United States the ratio of insanity is greatest among our foreign residents. Thus, in the United States the proportion of the insane to the population is 1 to 1,031. Of our native born people the insane are as 1 1,201 of foreign immigrants as 1 to 496, This is bad enough, but in California the difference is even more marked. In that state 1 in 4S9 of the whole people are insane among natives, 1 in 858 among foreigners 1 in 2S4. If the same proportion prevailed in the whole country, the insane of the United States would number 135,760, instead of 37,382. Probably the principal reason for this difference is to be found in the severance of social relationships and the lack of sympathy and of friendly intercourse to which the for-, eigner must necessarily submit when coming to a strange land.

A WASHINGTON special reports that Earl GRANVILLE'S reply to Secretary FISH'S note respecting the American case before the Geneva Board of Arbitration, is expected to arrive in about a week. From the intimations that have already been received concerning the communication it is known to be very long, and on the whole inconclusive to the extent that it settles nothing nor reaches any final determination. It is believed that it leaves the door still open for an amicable arrangement of the points in dispute, and indicates a method for the full and satisfactory execution of the treaty. It is also understood that the reply is not correctly represented by any summary of its contents which lias been published, based upon the reports in the English papers and Parliament.

THE "Times and Chronicle" notices the forthcoming meeting of the General Conference at the Methodist Epi.copal Church at Brooklyn, New York, as one of the most important in the annals of that organization. For the first time in her history, the lay element will be admitted to participation in the supreme councils. There arc several vacancies in the Board of Bishops to be filled, and the indications are that the revolutionary element of the Church will have several propositions to submit looking to some radical changes in polity. Among the more important changes suggested is one districting the Episcopal work after the diocesan method. Another is the enlarging of the work of the Presiding Elders so as to give them charge of larger district, and thus confer upon them more fully sub-episcopal authority. The presence of distinguished representatives from domestic and foreign fraternal bodies, and of eminent missionaries connected with the foreign work of Methodism, will also add interest to the occasion. Among the lay representatives chosen are some of the most distinguished juries and merchants of the nation. The session of the Conference will probably last a month. Indiana sends such lay delegates as R. W. THOMPSON, HENRY S. LANE and W. C. DEPAUW.

Statement From the Board

To the Public: The Board of. Health having recently, through the medium of the press, been made the subject of unjust criticism— proceeding, as we believe, more from ignorance than ip&lice. We feel it our duty to briefly call attention to what has been suggested and what done by the Board in view of the certain approach of small pox to our city, spreading as it was over the country for some months past.

Sdme time before the appearance of a case of this disease in the city, the Board of Health, through a report addressed to the Mayor and Common Council, earnestly asked their co-operation in the adoption of prompt and proper means for its reception and management. These required all persons to be vaccinated also recommending revaccination and, further, the providing of a suitable temporary building to be used as a pest House, when the disease came, with some other measures of a general character. This report was received and filed. It will be remembered that last spring the Board of Health, through Mr. Forrest, Councilman from the Third Ward, submitted an ordinance requiring all persons who had not been, to be vaccinated. This measure proved unpopular, and upon a vote was lost. The

Trustees of our Common Schools

very sensibly and properly put this measure into effect by ordering that all attending the schools be vaccinated.

And further, for years past, each successive Board of Health have persistently surged the necessity of establishing a permanent pest house. But, to the present, nothing has been accomplished.

Small pox has existed in our city for a period of two months. From its inception, the Board of Health have used the means within their power to isolate it in the localities where it appeared. The means used to this end consisted in confining those who had been exposed,to the premises and enclosures of the infected localities, furnishing all Becessary supplies, and nurse', when required, and des» ignating the locality by a red flag.

We are atfare that, in its operations, this plan was not, in all respects, as perfect as we could have desired, because of a want of its observance on the part of those exposed. It was the best, however, at our command, (the same as pursued in other cities,) and if it has failed of cer» tain success, it is no fault of ours.

Heretofore, the means used have been successful in stopping the spread of is loathsome disease, and, we presume, would have been so in this epidemic, had not the disease been so prevalent in all surrounding localities, which, by means of our numerous railroads, brought fresh infection to us.

None regret more sincerely the existence of small pox than the Board of Health, and ceitainly none more earnestly desire its cure. But being here, we has reason to congratulate ourselves that, considering our population, and the virulent character of the disease, the number of case3 has been so few, and the mortality so small.

Your Board has thought best not to excite unnecessary alarm by official reports, to the greater detriment of our commercial interests.

By order of the Board of Health. C. E. KUSTER, Secretary.

The following is the number of cases in the city since December 26th. 1871, to date: Small pox, thirteen cases, of which six proved fatal. Varioloid (modified small pox,) seven cases, making twenty in all. There are at present six cases remaining, of which four are convalescent.

Fresh infection is known to have been brought to the city at four different times, and in no instance is the contagion known to have spread beyond the household in which it originated.

We have no reason to fear the disease spreading, as all the cases are well isolated, and their atlecdants are under proper instructions in regard to associating with others, &c.

All cases of disregard of the regulations imposed on the household where small pox exists, must be immediately reported to the respective health officer in charge of that district, through the P. O., when prompt attention will be given.

By order of the Board of Health. C. E. KUSTER, M. D., Sec'y.

from the Terre Hindi Banner, 2(th.\ Clias. F. Wittenberg. Charles F. Wittenberg, for many years a resident of this city, died very suddenly and unexpectedly yesterday morning at 9 o'clock. He died not—softly he fell into a peaceful slumber in consequence of old age. The news of his demise spread over the city like wildfire, and strange as it may seem, created unwonted surprise, notwithstanding that his age, as well as his impaired health, might have prepartl the public mind for the expectation of the sad news. But the people had learned to love the good old man for his independent spirit, his powerful and intellectual mind, and_ for that reason were prone to forget the physical man. At the death of this man, closed an eventful, useful, yet to him, from a pecuniary standpoint, an unsuccessful career. He was born in the year 1799, at Erlurt, Germany, and received an excellent education. He went into the government employ and continued thereat until 1849 and during latter years he occupied an important position in the Postoffice Department at Muehlheine, on the Rhine. But at that period of insurrections and revolutions, our free-thinking Wittenberg could no longer tolerate the monarchical yoke, for he loved his country and the people too much to submit to monarchical tyranny. Forsaking a pleasant and lucrative position and bright enough future, had he been submissive to his sovereign, he departed for America, and in the same year arrived at Terre Haute, and shortly after took tip his residence in the German settlement, called Poland, in Clay county, where he remained until 1S56. After this he traveled through the West, remaining for some time at Dubuque, Iowa, where, through his education and general worth, he soon made many warm and firm friends. Shortly after, he removed to Galena, Illinois, at which place he edited and published the first German paper, called the "Correspondent." A few years afterwards he sold his newspaper establishment and took a position on the editorial staff of the "Illinois Staats Zeitung," at Chicago, where he remained for two years, alter which time be again removed to this city, where he published and edited the "Burger Zeitun?."

Since then he has remained here, and many of our readers will remember the ever active, liberal man.

His whole energy was bent toward making the "Buerger Zeitung a successful journal. He lived but for the interest and constant improvement of his paper, but he failed—he lacking physical strength to enable him longer to endure the hardships of newspaper life, and in the fall of 1S69 he sold his interest in the paper to Mr. Fabricius, now editor of the "Banner."

In the year 1866 he was elected justice of the peace of this township, and was reelected in 1S70, but his impaired health prevented him, during his last term, from steadilv attending to the duties incumbent upon him.

Now after an active life he stands^ at the bar of another court—his active spirit has found rest.

One great blessing and comfort during his old age was to see his children and their offsprings prosper, all of whom love him dearly. They were his pride aBd comfort, and they all respected him as a father, in the true sense of the word.

He breathed his last in peace with his Maker and fellowmen, surrounded by his family, and he now enjoys rest and eternal peace.

THE Indianapolis "Journal" of yesterday has this notice of "Shneider" which will be rendered at the Opera House on Friday and Saturday evenings:

Shneider is immense. It is better than ever before in many important respects. It. is improved in toto by the addition of apart fbt "Little Hack" itt the pldt, and it i& itafcirovea by the striking out of much extraneous matter. To be sure there is yet room for improvement in this respect, but .where there IB JO much to commend and laugh it, one does not very much mind & lot of stuff £hich neither adds to nor detracts from the interests of the phy. Allen is always good, Little Mack is inexpressibly droll, and Miss Harrison makes a very attractive heroine, while the rest of the company is above the average of catch companies, especially in this line of business.

St. Tamilian}-.

The majority of readers will be surprised,to learn that Tammany is not of New York origin. Sucb, nevertheless, is the fact. It furnishes the rare instance of an exotic growing with luxuriance upon adopted ground, while it has wholly disappeared from its native soil- Even St. Tammany is a borrowed divinity. The great Sachem, whose name has supplied a pseudonym to the most powerful political association of modern times, never set foot upon Manhattan Island, and could have done so only at the risk ofhis8calp. New York Island was the property of the Mathattan tribe of the Mohicans. Tammany was a Delaware, and consequently belonged to the LenniLennappe confederacy of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, which, time out of mind, had warred with the Six Nations and other New York Indians.

Concerning the great sagamore, variously named Temane, Tamanend, Taminent, Tameny, and Tammany, who enjoys the distinction of being the only native American yet canonized,many conflicting statements have been made. According to one account he was the first man to welcome William Penn to his new home upon the banks of the Delaware, and long lived to enjoy the esteem of that eminent Broadbrim. Another story lo cales his wigwam upon the site of Princeton College, in New Jersey, beneath whose venerable walls his bones are now supposed to lie, "A-mouldering in the graie Again, his home is represented to have been among the hills of Northeastern Pennsylvania, and he when a very old man, is said to have died on a journey, and been buried near a famous spring in the county of Berks, where so many of his worshipers now reside. But the most approved tradition represents him to have lived many centuries before the coming of the white man, and to have exhibited in an extraordinary degree the qualities of a savage hero. His character probably illustrates the highest ideal ever found among the aborigines. He was a sort of Indian Job. The Bad Spirit appeared unto him bodily, and subjected him to many severe temptations and perils. The adversary first sought, by means of fair words, to gain a share in the administration of hi3 kingdom. Tammany, however, was proof against his cajoleries, and resolutely refused any commerce with him. The enemy then resorted to strat egy. He managed to bring upon the good chieftain and his people many grievous afflictions, and while his limbs were sore and his heart was heavy, attempted to steal an entrance into the country of which he was the protector. Here lie was again baffled by Tammany, who comprehended and checkmated all the devil's "sinful games." At last, completely losing his temper, the Evil One boldly assaulted the great Sachem, and endeavored to overbear and destroy him by main force. Then transpired one of the most tremendous conflicts of which any record has ever been made. The battle raged for many moons, and in the .struggles of the combatants whole forests weie broken down, and the ground so effectually trampled under foot that it has remained prairie land ever since. Finally Tammany, watching his opportunity, and tripping his adversary, hurled him to the earth, and would then and there have taken his scalp had he not succeeded, owing to the victor's graat exhaustion, in extrica'.ing himself, and escaping over into New York, where he was hospitably received by the natives, and has ever since continued to make his home.

All these stories appear to have had this much of foundation: that the real originalTammany, having been a mighty brave among his people, they so reverenced his memory as to confer his name, by way of honorary distinction, in much the same manner we do that of Washington, upon such of their rulers as afterward greatly distinguished themselves, and in some instances even bestowed it upon white men.

The Tammany Society was, primarily, no more of a New York institution than the great Sagamore himself. Its origin is to be traced to the patriot revolutionary army, which, having no patron saint to fight under, after the protection of St. George was withdrawn to the enemy, cast about among the country's native great men for some one worthy of canonization, and naturally selected the warrior who had "whipped the devil" as pre-eminent-ly deserving of being set up against him who had vanquished the dragon. The Pennsylvania troops of Washington's command were the first to inscribe "St. Tamanend"—afterward corrupted, for the sake of euphony, to "St, Tammany" —upon their banners, and they selected the 12th of May, which tradition assigned for the new saint's nativity, for appropiate celebration. A wigwam was erected a pole, crowned with a liberty-cap, and bearing aloft a tomahawk, wampum, and other Indian paraphernalia, was planted in the earth and around this, after the representative of the great sachem, who was personified by a comrade duly accoutred and painted for the occasion, had emerged from the wigwam, to which he again retired and delivered a "talk" full of exhortations to love of liberty and courage in battle, they all danced, with feathers in their caps and bucks' tails dangling down behind.

The practice spread throughout the army St. Tammany and his natal day were both adopted forts were christened with his name and the 12th of May was regularly commemorated until shortly before the last war with Great Britain, by order of the then Secretary of War, General Dearborn, the festival was forbidden, as tending to debauchery among the troops.

Nor was St. Tammany's early popularity confined to the army. Patriotic poets sang his praises, and civilian societies bearing his name sprang up in many localities. Particularly was this the case in Philadelphia and other Pennsylvania towns. The object was simply festivity. There was a procession of men, women, and children, all decked out with bucks' tails and other forest adornments, to a grove, where the wigwam and libertypole had been erected, and where after an address from St. Tammany's representative, and sometimes a collation, the time was spent in games and dances on the ereen. Atone time it appeared likely that St. Tammany's Day would excel the Fourth of July in popular regard.—RuFL"3 HOME, IJ» Harper's Magazine for April.

Experiments with Air Furnaces. It is impossible to construct furnaces or stoves of cast-iron, and secure impermeability togases. They should not be made in part of cast-iron and in part of wrought-iron:as it is proved that whereever the t«o come together, there oxidation goes on with great energy. In the summer months, when furnaces are not in use, the ashes deposited about the joints become moist, and wherever thin iron pipes are connected with cast-iron shoulders there the-work of oxidation fcoes on, and the whole is soon destroyed. This energetic action is due to galvanic currents, resulting from the different crystalline structure of the metals.

After patient practical trial of two of the best and most popular forms of furnaces, it was apparent that inventors and manufacturers had not yet supplied aparatus which was not open to serious, or even fatal, objections certainly no one that we had examine could be permitted to remain in operation in our dwelling for even the briefest space of time.

The objections or defects may be stated to be: nrsi, the employment of cast iron in the interior construction, second, the presence of joints in the air chamber, which cannot be made perfectly tight by lutes or cements thi-d, arranging the air chambers or flues so that ashes and dust can pass into the air current fourth, the imperfect arrangment of smoke flues and dampers, by which great loss is incurred from incomplete combustion fifth, needless complication, and consequently needless expense in construction.—From Dr. yirhok's FIRESIDE SCIENCE, publmhed by lJurd A Houghton, Ne«Tsrk The Riverside Press, Cambridge.

BY HB8TCK A. BIX1DICT.

You are going first, 0 sister sweet, To our oeaatiful home in the land divine I tell by your tired, trembling feet.

And roar white hand dropping aloose from mine 8*no bright,

And I know by your blue eves grown too

And the far off look that your face puts on. I shall waken from, slumber, some moonful night.

Crying out for your kisses, and find you— gone!

Let malinger awhile ere I bid yoiLadieu— The tnotning may And iu divided, yotf know And I've messages many to send by you

To' the loved who went from us long ago. So long! Ah, darling! my heart is aged Since they went away and I can't tell why. If one of us goes, like a bird uncaged.

To onr Father's mansion, it isn't I.

For, freighted with sweetness and flooded with song Your life sweeps rdyally out of its June, And yopr feet) with the soft tose-sdndale on.

Are turning away from the earth too soon? For me—ihy path lies faf from the dew. Wherever the darkliest shadows be And the messenger, waiting, my love, for you.

Hath never a token of pity for me.

Over my bosom voflr hyacipth hair, Like Sheen of the See-Weed, flutters and floats And your pale lips, chiding my dumb despair,

Stir to the swell of triumphal notes. 0 darling! out to the graat Unknown My thoughts are drifting like wrecks at sea, And my sad lips break with a bitter moan.

For my dead are nearer to you than me.

You will go to them soon. There Is one, you know. Who called me sister—who cills me still. Though over his grave-couch, years ago.

The wild birds chattered and sung at will. You will say to hint, sweet, that I sit sometimes.

In tjie dim, deei forest We loved of old. And weave his bright name into rhymes. With voice grown sadder a thousand-fold.

And sh£ whose footsteps were feebie and slow. Whose life was a long, long day of toil. Yet full of God's goodness, and lifted so

From the mire of earth that it could cot soil Her pure, white soul, you will find her there

But how you will know her I cannot say. If the silver is lost from her shining hair. And the furrows washed from her face away.

And there is another—my voice breaks here Like a wave on the reckiest reaeh of land. And a mist is before me I I call see clear—

Though I know it is near me—the Infinite land. And I can't tell why, when there bloomed but one,

One blossom alone for my love and me. It was lifted out of the dew and the sun To the fair green height of Kternity.

0 hearts that forever in darkness d^ell! O lonesome hearth by the lonesome sea! 0 love! that the angels loved too well,

And fairer than ever the angels be! Tell her that, wounded, we weep and wait. Watching for ayo, from the drear oarthland. For the inward swing of the golden gate.

And the outward reach of her beckoning hand. And say to the Father who loved us all,—

Though you are this moment most surely Ids own,— That I wait for His ange'si and list for His call

For the suh hds gbne down, andlrtantto go home! Good-night, dear! The threads of your hyacinth hair

Drop from my bosom, and slumber is nigh Maybe you will wake where our Beautfiul are. And my kisses will miss you! good-night and good by!

PHILADELPHIA, March 15, 187^.

Public Fceiing in Washington at the Outbreak of the W ar. I have vivid recollections of the doubt and gloom which pervaded the city for days preceding the arrival of the first troops called for by tlie President., Such, at least, was the feeling among all those here who had resolved to stand by the government. Reports were rife that rebel soldiers were moving on the Virginia side of the river—that arms had been sent forward for them and as the passengerboats were plying every hour between Alexandria and Washington, there was great fear that this means of communica tion might be seieed Upon to £laee a hostile military force suddenly in our midst. Late one night I found myself at the telegraph office, with my friend, Ginery Twichell, now a representative in Congress from Massachusetts, and so alarming were the reports in reference to the movements of troops near us in Virginia (who, it afterward appered, were on their way to take Harper's Ferry) that we sent to General Scott an urgent request to stop the running of the Alexandria boats. It was, 1 think, on the following night that, being again at the telegraph offie, Mr. Twichell received a dispatch that another Massachusetts regiment had reached Havre de Grace and we immediately proceeded to communicate this information to Genaral Scott. It was midnight or after when we arrived at his lodgings, and we were told that he had retired for the night. Our message, however, was conveyed to him, and in a few minutes, clothed in his dressing-gown, he received us in his office. Calm and commanding, "he looked every inch a soldier," yet it was evident that he felt the deepest concern in view of the then threatening aspect of affairs. His greatest anxiety at that moment was for troops to protect Fortress Monroe and Harper's Ferry and having called upon Massachusetts for these, he requested Mr. Twichell to urge Governor Andrew to hasten forward two regiments for thepilrpose—the one for the former place to be sent by the fastest steamer possible direct to Old Point Comfort. This request was complied with, and the Massachusetts regiments for Fortress Monroe happilly arrived there on the 20th of April, just in time lo save that important post. Six hours later, and it is believed it would have been captured. As General Scott apprehended, Harper's Ferry fell into the hands of the insurgents before the Union troops could reach that point.—FromTHE EAKLY STAGES OF THE REBELLION, by HORATIO KING, POSTMASTER-GENERAL UNDER PRESIDENT BUCHANAH, in the April number qf Lippincotl's Magazine.

THE voice of one H.-n. II Dixon is heard crying in the wilderness of Kansas, and proclaiming that Caldwell, Sumner county, ot that State, is in exceeding want of a clergyman—so much so, that Benjamin advertises the fact that they have never had a sermon in his county. They have, however, indulged in the luxury of five murders in less than one year." He adds that, if they had heard the gospel, (hey would not have had the murders—which, in view of the histoiy of New York, St. Loui* and other cities, may h" suspected a no.i sequitor. Benjamin otii rs inducements to a clerical immigrant He says, if he will come, and bring a religious friend with him, he (Dixon) will show him one hundred and sixty arres of land, well watered and limbered, at SI 25 per acre. He omits, however, to make any promise as to salary, and we don't* see where, under the arrangement, the farm-purchase money is to come from. However, the opening may be a very good one for all that.— St. Louis Democrat.

SENATOR SCHDRZ has disclosed his awful tale about the wickedness of the United States Government toward Germany in selling arms to France, and such a h6tch-potch of hole-and corner gossip was surely never heard before. He obtained much of his information from "third persons." The Marquis de Cliambrun had seen him "quite frequently" |on the subject. He was asked whether he knew of any officer of the Government who had received anything, directly or indirectly from the sale of French arms? This question he evaded—and yet it will be remembered that this was the very point on which BO much Btress was laid when the investigation was demanded. Schurz was then asked whether he had taken the trouble to go to the Secretary of War or the Secretary of the Treasury to find out whether any of the money received for the arms had been embezzled? "No, he had no rea=on for doing BO!" No reason Well, if the truth had been any object to him he would have seen reason enough. But all he wanted was to raise a hue and cry against the Government, and consequently he did not care about facts. Altogether, this great ornament to the civilization of the nineteenth century" cut a very sorry figure before the Committee, and the public will know what to think of his Flanders against the Government in future.—JV.

A Cnrions Error in Spelling. Not Montpelier, but Montpellier. "What is your authority for that?" I asked a friend. His reply was, "Mr. Madison is the authority for spelling MontpeKier with two I's. I have letters of hi«, from his home, in which it is so spelt. Also I have letters of Mr. Jefferson addressed to him at Montpe/iier. The estate was named from the town in the South of France, and if you will examine Murray's Guide-Book or the Encyclopcedia Britannica, you will find it so. The capital of Vermont derives its name from the same place, but the Yankees always spell wrong and though, if you give in an inch they will generally take an i, they have voluntarily relinquished one in this instance."—From THE HOME OF MADISON, in (he MONTHLY GOSSIP of the April AUsober of Lippincotl's Magazine.

HIS LAST ORATION.

WHAT A CRITIC THINKS OF IT.

From tht lt*dia»apoli* ifetn.]

Although JSatiire scatters no gift so capriciously is genius, and no argument can be found in any element of physical condition, for the conclusion that Indiana is not as apt a place as any for such chance seed to fall, yet by some sort of inopportune filrt, the seed-Hand is always turned back downwards as it is borne over the space defined by the legal boundaries of Indiana. Hoosier genius has yet to grow. Of Hoosier statesmanship, jM have had enough: of Hoosier oratory, in its favorite development of the bar and the stnmp, we have had more than enough. Hoosier politicians are as the Jiee of Egypt, and Hoosier poetasters as her frogs, but wLere is the genius that shines through the windows and cracks of professional restriction, and glows abroad wide as the language spreads? We don't know. We know only of three attempts at such illumination, and they barely make "darfcrites visible." Probably we should present abetter appear&hce !n uniform dusk, than we do spotted faintly with three such tenuous and uncertain exhalations as D. W. Voorhees, Schuyler Colfax, and fiayless W. Hanna. They are the ooly men we have who have indulged a literary inclination unconnected with their occupations of practicing law and filling offices. Mr. Voorhees has several tidies Spptared in the cratbr of college societies Mr. Colfax has lectured On his journey "across the continent," and Mr. Hanna has occasionally figured in unprofessional display of literary culture.

We tried to hear Mr. AttPrfifcy Genferzl Hanna's speech to the Irishmen at the Rink, but finding that impossible, we have sought such eompensation as was attainable, for the loss of the voice, the presence, and the "Jovian nod", in reading it. We regret to say that it don't read well. For a written oration of one Of our Hoosier literary triumvirate it reads badly. There is a jerky effect about it as of a man who should arrange his topics alphabetically, and a skip from artichokes to astronomy, heightened we suspect by the sensational arrangement of the "Sentinel," which has made as many "suh heads" in it as the New York "Sun" would in a fictitiqus interview with a Cabinet officer or a murderer. There is not only a lack of consecutiveness in the sub' ordinate topics, but an extravagant breadth of range in their selection. He certainly allowed himself room enough for the most profound knowledge of Irish history and the widest excursiveness of Irish fancy to show themselves, in selecting suoh a subject as the "Insurrections and Genius of Ireland." He could not well have made more liberal limits if he had located his subject between the Fourth of July and the next comet. But he is not to be confined even by these. He opens Willi a compendious account of Irish genealogy, which reads as much like Geoffry of Monmouth's sketches of the times and kings that succeeded Brute the Trojan, as one piece of idle tradition can read like another. What connection it has with his subject we can't see. From his reference to the "Celt"," as confined to Ireland, we fancy that there hung a moderately thick obscurity over his subject and that he really did not know when he was on it and when he wasn't. He went on hammering, ft good deal as the fellow did who undertook to shingle a barn in a Massachusetts fog, and after nailing a course on the roof he kept on and nailed a hundred feet out into the fog. Fox is put into in the list of Irishmen Emmet is allowed to let his "blood trickle down the sides Of the executioher's block" thoitgh he was hanged Burke is called "the greatest gladiator of the forum," though he never practiced law the ruin of Ireland is attributed in part to abrogation of the Irish Parliament, though the abrogation of the Scotch Parliament produced no such effect in Scotland "deep damnation" is declared but a "partial retribution" for the execution of Emmet, as if there could be a more complete retribution than damnation "liberty" is said to be "branded" upon the religious opinions of men, asifit wasa stigma in fact there are everywhere through thespeech exhibitions of confusion and carelessness like these. It is a holch polch of Irish legends, history, suffering and literature, in which neither is quite separated from the other, and each is allowed to perplex all the rest. There are some really fine passages in it, but they are exotics, and show like occasional roses in a thicket of hog weed. The speech on a whole, is incoherent, chaotic and aimless to a degree that we might have expected in Mr. Voorhees,but were unprepared for in Mr. Han-

l'AItKE COUSTY COAL.

A Movement to Develop it-

From the Jtockville Patriot.J The Commissioners' Court was in session last week, and a proposition was before them to make an appropriation for the purpose of securing a geological survey of Parke county. The matter was presented to the Commissioners by Prof. Hobbs. He stated that he had spoken to the State Geologist, Dr. Cox, about making the survey, but was informed that the means at the command of the State Geologist were entirely inadequate to the amount of work to be done, and that the Btirvey of this county could not be made without aid. With this the State Geologist would be able lo make a survey ol the county during the coming summer. A number of other gentlemen were present, and spoke of the Importance of having the8iirvev made, and expressed opinions in favor of the appropriation. An appropriation of S'oOO was made to be used under the direction of the State Geologist in making a survey of this county. This is something which should have been done long ago. It is a point conceded by all that Parke county contains as much, or more, mineral wealth than any county in the State, but as yet this immense wealth is almost wholly undeveloped. Why should there be twenty blast furnaces and iron mills in our neighboring county of Clay and none in Parke? This is so far from the fact that Parke has had no showing made for her—capitalists have not been invited to come here—her citizens have been playing the "old fogy," and not looking to the interests of the county. Let the fact go forth to the world officially, as this survey will send it, that there is within the borders of Parke County almost five hundred square miles of coal, the best in the country, and within the next five years we will have in the county five thousand miners, and bla^t furnaces, nail factories and iron and steel works innumerable.

The smoke of her factories by day and the lurid light of her furnaces by night—the pillar and the cloud—show where she leads the way.— Lafayette. Courier.

WE understand that Hon. B. W. Hanna would, if the nomination were tendered him for Congressman for the State at large, accept the place.— Terre Haute Journal.

Mr. Hanna used to be considered a rising man, but for some months he has been "stationery." But, if tendered the nominaton, we dare say he would "get up and dust." If he couldn't dust himself, he could get the State Printer to furnish him with a "duster."—Ind. Eve. Journal.

A PROMINENT Democrat informs us that Mr. Thomas A. Hendricks has written a letter to a gentleman in this eity, in which he advocates the surrender ol the Democratic party, so far as the Presidential question is concerned. We do not understand, however, that H. desires the Democracy to disband in a local way. A capitulation of that kind might destroy the ambitious hopes and designs of more than one, of the so-called, mercenary leaders.—T. H. Journal.

FASHIONS IN JEWELRY.

Novelties—The Gems of the Slastta.

For lockets, breloquee, sleeve buttons, and scarf-pins the novelty thin season consists rather in a very charming method of ornamentation than in any new forms. Very aOCttrats models of Egyptian shapes are, however, in vogue. Careful drawings of the mvstital figures of the worshipers of Isis, with all the forms of sphinxes and scarabees engraved on them, have been introduced. The style of treatment is" a novel one. Sometimes the backing of the ornament presents a different color of gold from the front, giving greater contrast of color.

The revolution In thfistyteof gentlemen's chains is becoming more marked. Very large solid links, each one an inch to an inch and a quarter and of considerable thickness, are the great favorites at present. The bar for securing the chain follows closely the model of the links. The drop on which the seal was formerly secured is dofr omitted, the seal hanging from the middle of the rfiain. Bed ee!d seems to be the adopted shade. This large size of link is a positive return to the fashions of one hundred years ago. The seals are of cornelian or blood stone, and can be used either to form an imprint on sealing wax or for a locket.

A very handsome chaii} of a new character has just been introduced by a leading manufacturer. By an exceedingly simple and ingenious method, it may be formed either into a double chain secured in the middle, a single chain, a fob chain, or a necklace. The length can be so arranged by means of a simple slide, that the chain can be made either longer or shorter, arcordinr to the de«ire of the wearer. The double chain will probably become very popular. It is not only ornamental, but has besides, the great advantage of additional security. These Chains are now standard articles in this line.

IN LADIES' CHAINS,

The opera chain, introduced last season, still commands much attention. Perfectly strong and flexible, with a slide in the middle, which secures it to the neck of the wearer, the watch is suspended to one end, the other terminating in a pretty golden tassel. In the delicate link work, the productions of our manufacturers rival those of the best foreign make. The present Lenton season is generally a quiet one, yet trade has been quite good, and perhaps fl rather larger proportion df business has been carried on this last nlonth than usual. Many charming novelties are in hand, some of which promise to be quite attractive.

The general demand for rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and diamonds for manufacturing purposes is fairly active.

IN DIAMONDS.

The trade is very good for the season. Small stones, fit for general work, of good quality, ire readily placed. The demand for larger stones lian not ^et fairly set in. So far, the influence of tne African discoveiies has had no perceptible effect upon the American market. The wants of weart-rs of diamonds in the United States ing entirely confined to choice stones, and such never being plenty in the market, precludes the possibility of any depreciation in price of this class of diamonds.

PEARLS,

Of all sizes are in demand, and notwithstanding there is a better stock than has been offered for some time, they meet with a ready sale.

EMERALDS

Are perhaps more sought after, though very fine stones, either as to size or color, are in the market. For one of 2f carats, $1,000 gold is asked.

IN RUBIES,

Stones (Jf moderate size are scarce, and good prices are.asked and paid for them. A remarkably line one of aCout live carats, of magnificent color and fire, true pieeon's blood, is held at $7,000 gold.

TURQUOISES

Are now more freely used than for some years by our jewelers. This has created some demand for good stones, though very large stones, such as are found in European maikets, are not much sought alter.

This information we glean from the latest number of the "American Watchmakers', Jewelers', and Silversmiths' Journal."

lie Went Back On ThemAt St. Joseph, the other day, a Pemocraiic meeting, running dry, called on a worthy colored citizen who Happened to be present, expecting a little fun at his expense. But Anderson Potts proved too much for them. He made a speech that for simple pith and point beats Webster or Red Jacket. He said:

Gentlemen: I am not in the habit, nor am 1 qualified to address a public meeting, but I have ideas and views of some of the political questions of the day. I would not speak of them, but you force me to. As some of you have said, it is high time that we were up and doing. It is high time that the colored people were looking to their interests. I do not see things exactly a3 you do. You do not know a colored man when you see him, except you chance to run upon him just before an election. Then you notice him, and even would like to have him make a speech at your gathering. After declaring in the great Declaration that all men are equal, why did you oppose making black men your equals at the polls for almost ninety years? and then only admitted us because you were forced to? Gentlemen I am a Republican, and can never be anything else. I never can be a Democrat, and cannot see how any colored man can vote with his life-long enemies. If you think to catch a colored man by shaking a'possum at him, you are terribly mistaken. We go the straight out-and-out Republican ticket. "Take him out!" "Shut the door on him!" and Mr. Potts left his friends in their glory.

The Engravings of the 3Iadotr.iii di San Jisto. The world's great chef-d'auivre, the "Madonna S.in Sisto" by Raphael, has been copied in the grand style by five separate first-claps engravers, Steinla, Mtiller, Schultze, Nordheim, and, lately, Keller. Fine impressions of them ail may be taken out from the collection of Mr. Claghorn, and laid side by side for comparison. When the drawing was made by Madame Seidleman, from which Friedrich Muller worked, a portion of the painting was [bent over and concealed by the frame. Steinla's engraving (here represented by an exceedingly fine proof before letters) re-copies the complete picture as Raphael left it, including the tops of the painted curtains strung upon a cord. So does the latest of all, the engraving by Keller, of which lew copies have reached this country, and which seems, on examination, to surpass all the others, even the Muller. The lovely gaze, as of a startled fawn, in the dark eyes of the Madonna, is in Keller's print more facinatinglv beautiful: the pope and saint at the sides seem much more earnest, and quite lose the theatrical character while the cherubs beneath, if less regularly fair, are in the opinion of some travelers more true tolbeoriginals."-/Vom THE PRIVATE ART COLLECTIONS OF PHILADELPUIkrin thz April number of Lippincotl's Mar/azine

THE investigation into tbe sale of arms to all Alleged agent of the French government is developing entirely too itiany facts for the comfort of Mr. Schurz, wlio wis so profoundly moved a short time since for fear he ceuld not be ac commodated with ft committee. Step by step Mr. Hamlin's little court has been following the matter up, until now it is settled, beyond controversy, that the Marquis deChnmbrun, a Frenchman who lives in Washington, from some unaccountable reason, is tne real inspirer of the whole affair, and tbe chief intriguant who furnished to $tt~. Sshurz all he is popularly supposed to know on this subject. The work of the Committee yesterday discovered Chamburn to be the "confidential source" whence the Missouri Senator obtained the names of the witnesses who were to testify to all manner of damaging facts against the Administration. The position of Mr. Schurz is altogether anomalous we cannot recall an instance where an American Senator has placed his abilities as a public prosecutor and his privileges as an officer of the Government at the disposal of an alien and.an enemy. Mr. Schurz may feel comfortable, but in all kindness we assure him his best friends view h:v course with pain and sadness. This Chambrun is to be called before the Com' mittee to-morrow, when we may hear something more of this strange alliance between a German and a Frenchman to put a stigma upon the country which protects them bdth.—Chicago Inter Ocean.
