Thursday, December 4,1873.

SFAIN, it is said, has acceded to the ultimatum of the United States, bud there will be no war. This will be sad news to blood-thirsty patriots.

THE poet Whittier unites his protest to that of Charles Sumuer in opposition to a war upon the Republic of Hpain because of the capture of a privateer. THE boast of Tumtnany, the Iloss of power,

The blgg«ut rascal on whom diamond blooms, Has found at last at the 'leventh hoar,

The paths of plunder load but to the Toiubn.

CASSEKLY, of California, has renigned his Benatortthip. The contest lies between Booth and liaight. It Is a good thing for the latter gentleman that Indiana has no voice In the matter.

EVURY blustering patriot hereabouts who Is anxious for an immediate war on Spain, hoped to become a great General, and ride into the Presidential chair on the flood-tide of aHwelllug military reputation.

IT Is, a lucky thing for the country that it la impossible for the President to declare war. A President whom (flie accident of war foisted upon the country, Is eager to perpetuate authority by au.uppeal to the same demoniac forces which ilrst made his political fortune.

OUK colossal Senator, Pratt, Is opposed totho inflation of the currency, lu tho matter of carrying around with him snperlluous flesh, he knows how it is himself. What is bad for him he believes to be bad for the country. Too much circulating medium ho thinks not unlike too much body—a useless thing. The smallei tho amount, the more rapidly it circulates.

SEOKKTAKY

of the Navy Robeson

is developing unexpected and delightful qualities as a disburser of public funds. Within the past fortnight he has expended something like $5,000,000 In fixing up our navy, •which is not much of a navy after nil. He has not had a flrst-class chance, either, for there has only beeu a rumor of war. A full grown war in blast, we should not be surprised to see Robeson rise to the ex treme height of tho occasion, and eclipse even the famo of Tweed. Robeson is a young man.

A WAX figure of the late "Boss" Tweed, of New Yoik, in convict's dress, with hair shaven and shorn, would be a valuable addition to the art department of some traveling menagerie. A protograph of the tuiine distinguished subject as taken to adorn the rogues' gallery would mcll well throughout the country. Every Auditor's office in the State of Indiana, for example, ought to have one of him in convict's costume, in a gllty frame for tho benefit of Commissioners. It would act as a wholesome restraint on ofilcial enterprise.

PKESIDKNT GHANT, it is said, will devote considerable space In his annual message to a discussion of affairs In the District of Columbia. He will approve all tho Improvements that have been made there during the past year at a great expense, and find great cause for felicitation of the country and

self-glorification,

ZETTE

that

Washington has been made the most magnificent city in America during his administration.

Unless we greatly mistake the temper of the American people,they will not dance very gaily to the seductive pleasing of this Presidential music. "Boss" Tweed might, to-day, say tho same thing of New York that Grant says of Washington Both cities have, indeed, been made magnificent and after the same fashion. If anybody can find in the splendid marble palaces erected in New York City by

Tweed,anythingto

the credit

of that princoof pluuderers,8uch person is an exception to the rule. They stand, to-day, as monuments to the eternal disgrace of him and his gang, to whose credit, however, be it said, that of late they have not made a boast of their shame.

THE St. Louis Globe has found In Captain Fry, of the ill-fated cruiser, Virginius, a true hero. Indeed, no person can rise from a reading of the letter of F.-y, begging for the lives of his Innocent crew, and proving their *_uiltlessuess of wrong intent by crimination of himself, without feeling that whatever may have been the follios of his earlier, life or the character of tho expedition upon which he was then bent, ho was at heart a gentleman iu the best and broadest sense of that term. After arriving at tho same conclusion as that of the GAZETTE of several days ago iu reference to the character and deserts of Fry, the Globe is moved, out of sympathy for his bereaved and destitute family, to suggest the taking up of a subscription for their ^relief. Able by its position as a great metropolitan paper, appealing to a vast number of readers, to put Into practical effect its charitable suggestions, theJGlobe has undertaken to receive, care for and forward to their destination, such subscriptions as may be sent to it for that purpose. The GA­

reiterates its own suggestion

that something of this kind be done and now that the Globe has put into practical shape this excellentscheme, takes pleasure in informiug such of its readers as nitty desire to help along this deserving family of a dead hero, that money sent to the Globe will reach its destination. Tbe Globe does not exact a per cent on money sent'through it, as the St. Louis postmaster assessed his clerks. For our part, we trust sometlilug m»y bo sent from Terre Haute to help the fatherless children of a man who met death with an appeal for the life of his subordinates, couched in language which sealed his own late. he children of such a man are a charge upon all good people everywhere.

THERE Is a restless soul in our midst who writes for the Cincinnati Enquirer over the title of "Democrat." He is one of the best informed writers hereabouts. He understands perfectly the temper of what lie is pleased to style Democrats. Save a few worn-out and broken down politicians there Is, lie says, no doubt about the propriety an 8lh of January Convention. The masses yearn for it with a» exceeding great yearning.

How he knows all this, Is a mystery. There has been no convention to which the masses have flocked, boiling over with enthusiasm for the old name and the old dates. There has been no hurrahing for Jeff Davis. No arrangements have been made for a grand Jollification on the 8th of January. School children, fresh from the study of history, are the best informed persons in the community about the meaniog of the 8th of January. All the way through the letter it is most evident that the wishes of the writer Is the, parent of all his statements. The great Democratic party in this country is a colossal humbug. It is a myth, having no existence. A party which shall sharply antagonise the present dominant organization, will get the support of the masses of the people. In these days you can't label a man.

There is a comforting story of a poor sinner who understood the preacher to say that there were two roadB leading to the future life. One was abroad and crooked way leading to hell the oth^r a narrow and straight road going to destruction. He was heard to

remark

that, under

the circumstances he thought he would take to the brush. If politicians shall fix up only two roads and put up as sign boards Republican and Democratic, and if neither of the roadB suit the people, they will be found tearing down the fences and going cross lots. A gorgeously gotten up sign board might have entrapped people once. Its power is gone now, forever. The road, Its direction and condition, are the important questions not where it came from or how ituaed to be.

Tin? news of this week and the next will be of the more Important character. Grave questions of national policy will come up in Congress for discussion and settlement. Indeed, it is likely that the whole session of Congress will be a stormy and excited one. A complicated question of international law demands adjustment.

Congress and the nation cannot, if tho President can, permit Spain to humble herself wrongfully. These United States want no bullying. They are not only big and powerful enough to prevent any other nation from hectoring them, but great enough, and herein Is true greatness, not to brow-beat any other country. If Spain did what she had a right to do in the Virginius matter, and an apology has been forced from her, why then a counter-apology must be made. All this Congress must look into.

Tben agaln, there are the National finances. Tho revenue system must be remodeled. The expenditures looked Into. On these questions the nation can least aflord any foolish legislation for the purpose Of rnanu facturing political capital.

Still further the infamous legislation of last winter must, as far as possible, be undone, and if any new investigations are needed they must be put through, feailessly and impartially. It is not unlikely that the abject terror of party discipline has relaxed to such an extent that some Republicans may be found who will have thecouiage to ventilate the Executive room of the Government When that commences there will be riell developments.

THE Indianapolis Sentinel claims to have discovered the reason of Morton's intense desire to repeal the Involuntary clause of the present bankrupt law. Under the law, as it now stands, Jay Cooke will be forced in bankruptcy. The impertinent questions of a bankrupt court, it is thought, would reveal secrets of reference to the

legislation in grants to the Railroad which young blood incorruptible Congressmen paved the way for liberal legislation All revelations in relation thereto it is sought to prevent, by changing the bankrupt law. This is a plausable theory. We trust somebody shall be found In the next Congress who will hunt down the accusation, and prove its truth or falsity.

"Boss" TWEED went to Blackw ell's Island yesterday. His head was shaved, his beard taken off, the resplendaut $18,000 diamond which adorned the broad expanse of his shirt front removed, and a full striped uniform put on him. The jacket given him to wear is called the larceny jacket, and we may imagine is altogether quite a grand affair, or ought to be, to match his operations in that line. Interrogated as to his age, occupation, etc., the Boss said he was 62 years old, and that his business was that of a statesman. Is there to be no decent word left whereby we may designate a person bent upon the houorable occupation of administering public affairs? Politician is a spoiled word, aud here now, is statesman tainted by this use of It.

IN another columu will be found the resolutions of tbe State Democratic Central Committee. There will not be a Democratic Convention on the 8th of January. We some times weep when we think of the Influence the Journal has on the action of its party. Whatever the Journal advocates is sure not to come to pass. Its opposition to the dismemberment of the Democratic party leads us to belive that the final end of that organization is near at baud

THE resolutions adopted by the Indiaua State Grange, at their session, in Valparaiso, are printed entire in another column. The proposition to diminish the number of Legislators is a new one, so far as the Grangers are concerned. It does not necessarily follow, that tbe fewer the Legislators the less the expense. Small bodies are tqore easily corrupted than large ones. Id reference to railroads, the doctrines of the Grangers is, iu the main, right. ,'r

A News reporter this forenoon made a tour of the pork houses, in itself a fatigueing expedition, and found them all actively killing, with the exception of Holmes, Pet tit & Bradshaw's. At Landers' some 2,500 hogs were awaiting tho kqife, and on the lower floor i* stored acres of meat, representing the product of some twenty thousand hogs already killed. The "foreman, Harry Thompson, showed tho reporter around this establishment-, which has already caused the Fourth Ward so much anguish and nostril agony, and the ffif- VffiKHPkol?

proportion of stink six months hence. This firm was killing to-day 1,000 grunters, aud cutting about the same number, and quote prices at $4.30 higher than any one else.

Klngau & Co. were running to the full rate of their enormous facilities, with some 7,300 in pens, 1,500 of which dies to-day. Prices were quoted here at $4.15.

C. Ferguson & Co. placed quotations at $4.10©4.20, and report something over 4,000 in pens, and 1,200 to be killed to-day. At Bradshaw's the firm was cutting, having only some

150

live hogs on hands, with a lot of 800 to arrive this evening. Coffin was running full handed, and had enough in pens for to-day's labor. Both these firms quoted from $4.10 to $4.20, but it is presumed that Kingati's rate may be taken as the average price of the market. So far Coffin has slaughtered seme 15,000, and reports that within two weeks the hog season will close, judging from the rate at which they are now coming In.

Mr. Reynolds approached the discussion with much diffidence, and asked tbe prayers of the audience in his behalf. It Is proper to take the measure of tbe Divine mind touching whatever we discuss, and we nhoald analyse the question and talk of it understandingly. We find the evidence of the Divine will in relation to everything human by searching the Bible. The true measure of government, so far as mankind is concerned, is that the people, not the few, shall rule. As touching temperance, the Bible gives us a perfect knowledge of the Divine will in reference to tbe traffic in alcohol. He then read from Proverbs, 29. "Who Hath Woe," etc. Habbakuk 2, 15, "Woe unto him that giveth bis neighbor drink, that putteth the bottle to him and maketh him drunken also." These are the grandest declarations of total abstinence that can be found in the range of literature. I am glad that we can talk of this subject with the feeling that we are intrenched behind the Divine law. Temperance is an old question. It was the companion of the first pair that tilled the garden of beauty, and has been the elder brother of men ever since. God always vindicated bis law and always will. This assertion he proved by pertiuent illustrations. He referred to the case of the children of Israel, under their Egyptian taskmasters, and asserted that more cries had gone up from the suffering children of our own Republic •suffering from alcohol—than had ever gone up from the children of Israel. God had heard the cries then, and he will hear ihem now. If, in other particulars, God has vindicated his law in everything else, will he not in this, and will it not be woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink The history of tbe past shows the same terrible effects of intemperance as to-day. Its ravages have always been the same. Draco passed a law, making drunkenness punishable with death, and Lycurgus de stroyed all the vineyards. These were more stringent laws than we "fanatical" temperance men would ask to-day.

People admit that it is true that there will be woe unto the man who stands behind the counter and deals out poison, at so much a drink. But there are more ways than ono to put the bottle to your neighbor. You may do this by your indifference. If you can prevent it and don't, you are guilty. Thousands of people who think they are friends of temperance, tried by this rule, will find themselves not free from guilt. The Gov ernment calls down upon itself the woe, by legalizing the traffic. The people of this country are the government, not Congress aud General Grant. What hurts the people, therefore, hurts the govern ment. The people are.responsible for the acts of their representatives. Woe has come upon the country In the destruction of an unlimited quan tity of grain, while thousands are crying for bread.

The next meetlug was appointed to be held at Iudiadapolis.

THE PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY.

The Resolutions Adopted by tho In diann State Grange, at 1 heir Session in Valparaiso.

The following are the resolutions in full, adopted by the Indiana State Grange of Patrons of Husbandry

Resolved, That we dure to do right, and we recommend to our brothers and sisters to take high grounds in favor of temperance and morality.

Resolved, That for wise legislative action in a State, the body charged with that duty need not be numerous and in a Staie like Indiana, in which tbe Legislature is divested of the power of local legislation, it is no longer necessary that each county shall have a represeutalive. We therefore favor the distributing of the State for Senators and Representa tivea to one-half the present num ber.

WHEREAS, Railways have been built by large land grants and subsidies granted them by towns, counties and cities, and by direct taxation and,

WHEREAS, The State has granted them power toruu through our laud", and even our barn.8 and houses, appropriating them to their own use without our consent and,

WHEREAS, Railways are common carriers, aud therefore controlled by law therefore,

Resolved, That we call upon Con gress and the State Legislature to establish uniform rates or tariffs on the different classes of freight and pas senger roads and,

Resolved, That railways can not exact more than a fair rate of interest on the capital actually invested in them and that, when in addition to this they claim dividends on Watered stock and fraudulent bonds, the State may rightfully interfere for the protection of the people that uujust discriminations between different localities are in violation of law, and should be prophibited.

Resolved, That subsidies or bounties of money, land, or public credit to railway, steamship, or other corpoBoWfe'^'oP r§O^W$ftfell l-M the greatest danger to the people, were

If

thrown into the fire and burned, all the corn in Vigo county made Into whisky, and the whisky poured on tbe ground, people would say that it had been wasted. It was just as effectually wasted by straining It through the stomachs of the people, and does infinitely more harm. It would be better for all the grain that is made into alcohol to be blighted before it comes to maturity. It brings woe upon the country by decreasing its productive power, for whatever produces weakness and disease destroys the productiveness of the country. What kind of a producer is a drunken man? All men are non-producers just in proportion the amount they driuk. God, humanity, science, civilization has outlawed the traffic, and it exists only by law contravening the law of God. Supreme Courts have decided that liquor selling is not one of the primary rights of a citizen. Alcohol is the most diabolical in its inception of any of the evils of the day. The traffic is striking down more citizens annually than the rebels ever did. It is the mother of all vices. It era! ruits the parent as no other agency can. Dr- Connelly, of New York, loved his children as well as any man. He was a fashionable drinker. lie hugged to his bosom the phantom that has deluded so many, that he could drink when he pleased and let it aloue wbeu he pleased. He went out iu the morning to call upon bis patients, "looked upon the wine when it was red," aud at 10 o'clock returned to his home, drunken on legalized rum. Into their bed chamber he took his two innocent little girls, aged four and six years, whose arms had lovingly Jentwined his neck as they kissed him good morning. Their little hands often playfully patted his cheeks, and their childish prattle had been his delight. He laidithem upon the bed where they badj slept the slumbers of midnight, guarded by holy angels he turned back their heads, and, the father's love all gone, temporarily destroyed by alcphol, he cut their throats from ear to ear, and then took his own life. All heaven must have looked in horror, while hell itself groaned iu agony at the diabolical act.

A MEDICAL WONDER.

A Man Who Can Move His Heart and Ribs When He Pleases. From the Syracuse, N. Y., Journal, Noember 18.

Several of our resldeut physicians Introduced to our notice this morning, Professor George Thomas, the medical wonder of the world. Professor Thomas is physically made up in such a manner that he is enabled, evidently through two sets of ribs, to throw one set down into the abdomen. He is enabled also to move his heart from the left to the right breast or down to the right or left hip. He Is also able to stop tbe beating of heart and pulse at the same time. The Professor is powerfully made up, and with apparent ease bends at iron bar three-quarters of an inch in diameter, by striking it across his left forearm. Professor Thomas has been examined, since his advent in our city, by Drs. Crouse, Hoyt, Mumford, Whedou, and others, who unanimously pronounce him a medical wonder. In order that the public may have an opportunity of seeing this wonder in human shape, the physicians have induced him to give an exhibition at the store No. 1 Yates' block. The professor is truly a wonder, and none of the thousands of medical gentlemen who have examined him are able to give any solution of his wonderful make up.

The German vs. English Mechanic. Chas. llrodlitugh to a St. Louis Qicbe Re-p-iter.

In your large cities East, I do not know how it will apply in the West, because I have not been here long enough to know, but it applies to Buffalo and Cincinnati,that the English artisan can not compete with the German irlisau. The same wages being paid to the German artisan and the English artisan, the German has a great advantage for this reason The German artisan can purchase nutritious food cheaper than the Englishman, and my explanation of that is, that the German, as a rule, starts with abetter education, and that the German knows better, therefore, what he is about. The evidence you get of that in Buffalo Is overwhelming. You find that tbe Buffalo German laborers are living iu their own houses—small ones, but still their own.

Reporter—I suppose they have attained independence? Mr. B—Yes I think they attain Independence quicker on the same wages thau the English workman. I speak specially of skilled labor.

She rose up and turned tbe light down a half, making the room look dim. It took him five minutes to get hold of her fingers again, and she pretended to want to draw her hand away all the time. After a long pause, he lowered his voice to a whisper, and said he didn't see what made folks love each other. She bit her handkerchief aud admitted her ignorance. He said he could name a dozen young fneu who were going to get married right away, and his left arm fell down and gave ber a hug.

Then be went over, and looked out of the window to make sure that it was or was not going to snow, and coming back, be turned the light down a little more, and then sat down, and wanted to know if she didn't want to rest herself by leaning her head upon his shoulder.

Ah, me! wo have all been there, and who of us cared a cent when the old clock struck twelve, and we five miles from home? The old man was fast asleep, the watch-dog gone a visiting, and the handsomest girl in the county didn't see why he need be in a hurry.

Perhaps I shouldn't have written of this, but, as I was going by Saunders'the other day, thinking of the night I heard him whisper in her ear at spelling-school, that he loved her very shadow as long as he lived, he raised the wiudow and called to her, as she was picking up chips in the road: "Sue Saunders, come in here ar find the b'ars's grease for my sore heel, or I'll break every.bone in your body !"_

One of Those Stupid Servant-Girls. Max Adeler In the Philadelphia Post. Krickbaum read somewhere that Dio Lewis advised men with a tendency to become bald to have holes punched in the top of their hats. And so when Krickbaum purchased his new winter hat he had a small sheet-iron plate perforated with large holes and set in the crown. That was ou Tuesday. On Wednesday Mrs. Krickbaum got a new hired girl, whosaw the hat on a chair in the dining-room, and imagining it to be a patent colander of some new kind, she removed it to the kitchen. When Mrs. Krickbaum came down stairs at noon to see how dinner was getting on she found the girl straining the boiled cabbage through the sheet-iron ventilator in Krlckbaum's high hat, and swearing in the Ballybudheen dialect because the holes were so big and the colander so limber. That night when Krickbaum wanted to go to the lodge he began to hunt for his hat, while Mrs.Krickbaum satstill and trembled. But when he became exasperated and commenced to pick up the chairs and jaqa them down hard so as to relieve his feelings she began to cry, and revealed the whole horrible ruth to Jbim. It may have been lone in quicKer uuio,- tfov

it. We say that there may have been In former ages some hired girl who packed her truuk and pelted down stairs, and was hustled into the street jicker than Mrs. Krickbaum's hired girl when Krickbaum began to expostulate with her, but the fact has not been proved. He wears aD unperforated bat now, and will probably be entirely bald by

Concerning PhonograpMng, From the St. Louis Qlobe. The Democrat cackles like a hen over a new-laid egg, aud thinks it achieved a wondyrful feat in reporting a lecture on Thursday evening, which its cotemporaries pronounced uureportable. Speaking for one of its cotemporaries, we desire to say that we did not report it in full because we did not want it in full. The Democrat's amateurs, however, are so pleased with their own work that they say: "That the difficultyjn the way of making a report of this lecture may be appreciated, it may be permitted us to state that

4M.

H. B.' IB pro­

bably the fastest talker that ever mounted a St. Louis rostrum." Now let us see about that. The Democrat's report filled 840 lines. At an average of seven words to a line this would make 5,880 words. The lecturer spoke fifty-five minutes, an average of 107 words per minute. Now tbe average rate of public speaking is 120 words per minute, and there are men—Wendell Phillips, for instance—whospeak nearly 200. IfM. H. B. in such a rapid talker as the Democrat would have us believe, the Democrat missed at least oue word outofe*'ery three in her lecture. It is a trifling matter, but we allude to it to show that the Democrat folks don't know much about reporting. From Boston Dispatch to Chicago Times.

A CONVINCING ARGUMENT.

How Buffer was Conrinccd that Advertisements are Read.

Didn't Want to Boy a Dog.

From the N. Y. Ledger.

"I can't see it," said Butler. "Nobody reads all these little advertisements. It's preposterous to think of it." "But," said the editor, "you read what interests you

"Yes."

r-

1

"And if there's anything that you particularly want jou look for it?-* "Certaiuly." "Well, among the thousands upon thousands who help to make up tins busy world of ours, everything that is

Ftinted

is read. Sneer as you please,

do assure you that printer's ink is the true open sesame to all the busipcftfl success."

And still Buffer couldn't see it. He didn't believe that one-half of those little crowded advertisements were ever read. 'Suppose you try the experiment," said tbe editor. "Just slip in an advertisement of the want of oue of tbe most common things in the world. For the sake of the test I will give it two Insertions free. Two will be enough and you may have it jammed into any out of the way nook of my paper you shall select. Two Insertions, of only two lines. Will you try it?"

Buffer said of course he would try it. And he selected the place where he would have It published—crowded in under tbe head of "Wants." And be waited and saw a proof of bis advertisement, which appeared as follows:

Wanted—A good house dog. Apply to J, BulTer, 675 Towerstreet, between the hours ot 0 and 9 P. M.

Buffer went away smillngand nodding. On tbe following morning he opened his paper, aud after a deal of bunting, he found his advertisement. At first it did not seem at all conspicuous. Certainly so insignificant a paragraph, burled in such a wilderness of paragraphs, could not attract notice. The more he looked at it the

Eim

lainer it grew. Finally it glared at from the closely printed page. But that was because he was the person particularly interested. Of course it would appear conspicuous to him. But it could not be so to others.

That evening Mr. Buffer was just sitting down to tea (Buffer was a plain old-fashioned man, and took tea at six) when bis door bell was rung, the servant announced that a man was at the door with a dog to sell.

Tell him I don't want one." Six times Buffer was interrupted while taking tea by men with dogs to sell. Buffer was a man who would not lie. He has put his foot In, and he must take It out manfully. Tbe twenty-third applicant was a small boy with a girl iu company, who had a ragged, dirty poodle for sale. Buffer bought tbe poodle of the boy, and immediately presented it to the girl, and then sent them off.

To the next applicant he was able truthfully to answer—"Don't want any more. I've bought one

The stream of callers continued until near 10 o'clock, at which hour Buffer locked up and turned off the gas.

Ou thefollowingevenlng, as Buffer approached his house, he found a crowd assembled. Hecouuted thirtynine men and boys, each oue of whom had a dog in town. There were dogs of every grade, size, and color, and growl, and howl. Buffer addressed the motley multitude, and Informed them that he had purchased a dog. "Then what d'yer advertise for?"

And Buffer got his hat knocked over his eyes before he reached the sanctuary of his home.

Never mind about the trials and tribulations of tbe night. Buffer had no idea that there was so many dogs in existence. With the aid of three policemen be got through alive. On the next morning he visited Ms friend the editor and acknowledged the corn. The advertisement of "wanted" was taken out, and in the most conspicuous place, and in glaring type, he advertised that he didn't want any more dogs. And for this advertisement he paid. Then be went home and posted upon his door —"Gone into the country." Then he hired a special policeman to guard his property, ana then he locked up and went away with his family.

Rail Road Matter.',

From the Indiatiapoils Evening News.

Frank McKeen has resumed official duty upon the Vandalla. E. B. Campbell, a colored porter on a Vandalla sleeping-car. has been arreHlfcli IUt Mwino tilxiq ffQffl travelers, and is now awaiting the action of the Grand Jury.

From the Indianapolis Journal.

The Vandalia Company have upon their road, which is 238 miles in length, running, from Indianapolis to St. Louis, seventy-two engines, fortythree of theift Baldwin Locomotive Works build, nine Rogers', eight Hinckley's, seven Mason's, and five Taunton engines forty'Six fthem are first-class freight engines, several of them ten wheelers, twenty-six passenger engines forty-seven burn coal, twenty-five wood. No. 12, a Mason engine, is claimed to be tho fleetest engine that ruasinto tbe Union Depot, having run from this city to St. Louis in six hours and fifteen minutes, including stops, while pulling a train consisting of a baggage car and passenger coach.

An Example for Terre Haute Landlords. From the New York Tribune.

We have sometimes thought that there is something in tbe ownership of real estate which makes men hard aud sharp. Perhaps it is the taxes, or the insurance premiums, or the tenants who commit strip and waste, and do not pay up promptly But when we hear of a sort-bearted landlord, we feel that his name should be blazoned In these columns. Only in this case we do not know what his name is. But be lives in Chicopee, Mass., and they know it there. When he beard of the reduction of wages in the manufactories, he at once reduced the rent o/ his tenants otie-half. It isn't intimated that ne is insane aud we are willing to believe that he is preempting one of the "many mansions" which are more desirable than tbe choicest corner lots or brown-stone fronts in this transitory world.

Out of the Frying Pan, &c. From the Grand Kaplds Democrat. The Germans will no longer blindly follow the leaders of the miscalled "Republican" party.

From the Orand Rapids Post.

The Post suggests to tbe Democrat that.it lay tfot the flattering unction to Its soul that because tbe Germans will no longer follow the lead of the Republican party, that they will therefore blindly follow that of the Democracy. The men who are cutting loose from one party or the other do not propose to jump out of the frying-pan into the fire.

Bonner Understands Business. From the Ind. Eve.- News. Mr. Bonner, of the Ledger, understands business. He does not permit his paper to be forgotten because "hard times" are at band, but advertises more vigorously than ever. His course furnishes a hint to duller men, who fail to comprehend that the very time when their business most needs the aid of advertising is when it has to contend with the results of a panic like that ot last September. ,,

How to Remove Stains and Spots from Marble Furniture, Ete. The only stain which Sapolio will not remove, is a "stain upon the character." But from marble mantels, tables, china, table ware, carpets, furniture of every description, auy article of household ornament or use, the deepest dyed 'stain can be iust&utly washed out forever by the use of Sapolio. It is as cheap as ordinary bar soap, and will always do exactly what is claimed for it, if the simple directions are followed.

Telegraphic News.

IJONDON, Dec. 1.—One of the moBt appalling marine disasters chronicled since the loss of the steamship Atlantic, is reported thia morning. The stcamBiiip Villo du Havre, of the French Trans-Atlantic Line, bound out from New Yoik, collided with an uuknown vessel, after leaving Havre on a passage to New York, and sunk In a few minutes. She carried a vt.l uabie cargo. Of those ou board only eighty-seven were savefl, and one hundred and forty of the passengers and crew drowned. ^KW YORK, Dec. 1.—A special to the Tribune, from Washington, says that the President has at last made up his miud with reference to the Chief Justiceship, aud will send to the Senate to-day or to-morrow, the name of Attorney General Williams, for confirmation to that hlull office. There is no doubt but that either General Bristow, of Kentucky, or Edwards Pierpont, of New York, will succeed Williams as Attorney General. The President called on Williams yesterday, but the latter says the subject of Chief Justiceship was not mentioned.

Th* President has called a special Cabinet meeting to-day at hair-past 11, at which will be read that nortion of his message in relation to tlie Cuban affairs. The position which the President has decided upon has not beeu made public, and it is believed that only himself and the Secretary are aware of the manner iu which the Virgiuius affair will be spoken, as none of the steps In our negotiations with Spain have been taken without his approval, and as Spain has practically admitted our demand, it is presumed that the President will report the history of the negotiations and announce his satisfaction with the result, should it be carried out as promised. Whether he will make any recommendation for the amelioration of the unhappy condition of Cuba is not known. The

President devotes considerable space to discussing finances, and seems to" lean toward free banking. He urges Congress to give tbe subject a very careful consideration. He also urges that some course, which promises an early return to specie payment, may be adopted, it being his belief that this oourse will be the best
