THURSDAY. DECEMBER 20, 1877.

Bon INGEBSOLI, is reaping the lecture field. He makes hay while the footlights burn, seven nights in the week, at $250 a night. Seventeen hundred and fifty dollars per week is pretty good wages for sweat of the jaw.

A MRS. NICHOLAS, of Boston, who materializes spirits, much as our Mrs. Stewart does, has lately been detected. It really seems as if the position of the GAZETTE was true, viz That Mrs. Stewart is the only genuine medium, and Terre Ilaute the only true Mecca for spirtualists.

IT is said that the position to which W. P. Kishback has been appointed, as clerk of the United States district and circuit court, is worth $16,000 a year. That is twice as much as both of the judges together get, and is entirely out of proportion to the w?rk done. It is a 'soft thing" that should be hardened.

MARY CI.KMMBR says: Mrs. Murat Halstead, the mother of eleven children, looks to be no older than thirty-five, and her "Titian hair," which has been a theme for painters and poets, is seven feet long and, when flowing loosely, trains behind her on the ground like a robe of gold. ^And are silver threads appearing among the gold, that Murat is so anxiousto popularize the latter?

LEGAL technicalities.and the way in which they are frequently made the instrumentalities for obstructing the course of justice, have olten been subjects of comment and criticism. A new instance has been added in the trial of the alleged •forgery case on the Continental bank,

which happened recently in New York: For five weeks innumerable experts nave been under examination as to whether the certification of a check was or was not forged, while the judge has locked in his desk the testimony which would settle the matter, but which cannot be produced because of a legal quib* ble.

It gratifies the GAZETTE to observe the following editorial paragraph in the columns of its sprightly Floyd county contemporary. It says:

fortunate in being spared their lives and restored to political privileges. Unlew we are greatly mistaken the L.S. expresses the true sentiment of the democratic party in this matter. 4&.

THEKK is a great deal of sound horse sense in the following paragraph, which we take from an exchange in regard to the fight Conkling is making on President Hayes:* *•••*?,-y :/fi "There is a large isiortmenf In' tlie newspapers of poppy-cock about Mr. Conkling's great victory in the senate over the president. There is nothing surprising in a victory in the senate over the president The senate, tver since the quarrel with Andrew Johnson, has "been crowding ^into the executive department Grant got along because he always had a majority of senators whoAvould give him his way with his nine brothers-in-law and fortytwo couSins, if he would hand over to them the patronage they wanted after the exhaustion of his lot of relatives and favorites:* ^Conkling has a majority in the senate because these Bate is a ring of office peddlers. The mighty Conkling is incapable of an important leadership. A man who spends his time in peddling offices will not cover the country with such a fertilizing influence as to raise a great crop. What should the president care about the New York appointments? Not a subsidary coin! Let hiin go.on and give the country a cltfan administration, and he will make his record and do the country substantial service. Meantime Conkling will pass away."

i.. HAYES

AND CONKLING.

Among the Washington telegrams "to the Chicago Inter Ocean of• Saturday is to be found the following paragraph relating to the attitude of Senator Conkling towards president Hayes:

It is stated to-night that Senator Conkling was asked if there would be a compromise between him and the president, and that he replied, "Yes, i£l am allowed

... «. I

to dictate the terms, but not otherwise. Although he declined to talk on this subject with your correspondent to-day, this no doubt expresses his position. Some days ago, Senator Christiancv, in the guise of an ar.gel of peace, asked and had an interview with Mr. Conkling in the president's interest, at which Senator Jones, of Nevada, was present. Christiancy had seen the president, and leportei him as anxious to make terms with the senate, and he ssked Conkling what those terms should be. Conkling declined to state. He said he was not prepared to do so. Jones suggested: "Let Evarts, Schurz and Key retire from the cabinet," and Conkling is reported to have added: "Yes, and then an amicable arrangement will be possible No one seems authorized to speak for the presi dent.

A more absurd piece of presumptuous imprudence is difficult to imagine. The dismissal by the president of Secretaries Evarts. Schurz and Key that an amicable arrangement with My Lord Chesterfield Conkling might be possible, is a consummation which may be devoutly hoped forby the New York senator but unlikely to happen, a* is to run up hill. It is very easy to understand his hatred of Secretary SchurzWhen that gentleman was in the senate the tilts between him and Conkling were one sided and to the disadvantage of the sulking renator from the empire state. But really we fail to see any reason why President Hayes should be anxious tj conciliate this man. He represents awing of the Republican party, which the nomination of Haves, at Cincinnati was intended to defeat, and did defeat. As to Conkling leading around any Democratic senators with him, in his crusade against the president, that will stop when those gentlemen hear from home. If there is to be a fight in the ranks ot the Republican party, Democrats expect their representatives to side with the decent side, and. Conkling's is not the decent 6ide.

THE DOLLAR OF THE DADS. Except during last week, when, owing to the presence of MY Bissgl, of Hartford, in Indianapolis, the Journal of that city felt constrained to advocate the gold standard, the Indianapolis Evening News is the only paper in Indiana not in favor remonetizing silver. It grieves the GAZETTE to observe that the News is opposed the "dollar ot the dads.' During the past six years, the attitude of the News on the financial question has been so thoroughly in accord with thaf of the GAZETTE, that it is a source of positive pain to see it going off on the wrong road, as we suppose, or at least on a different one from that which our convictions force us to pursue. Within the past few years innumerable wild financial schemes have been broached. That mercurial organization known as the greenback party has sounded the whole gamut. of J, ^financial heresy, from top to bottom. It has taken as its maxim the rather erratic motto: "Whateveris, is wrong." It has proposed to pay off the bonds in greenbacks, and to issue greenbacks in sufficient quantities to accomplish that object at one fell ^swoop. It has--but why attempt to enumerate all the vagaries about which that discontented 6et of unappreciated statesmen have filled the land with clamor. It is sufficeint for our present purpose to state that the News has set is face resolutely against all these wild and dishonest schemes, and done real missionary work among the yahoos of the White River bottoms.

But the News is not strong in its hew position on the silver question, as witness the following article taken from its editorial columns in th£ issue of Saturday:

It would not be a bad idea, if the unlimited silver tender Hill is passed, to pay the members who want it sobadlv in the coin of their affection andtheir "daddies." As a silver dollar is worth eight cents less than a gold dollar, a balancc of a pay claim of 13,000 would be when paid in silver worth just $2,760. Moreover the self-sacrifice of the member would be tried by the weight of his stipend. A silver dollar weighs nearly an ounce avoirdupois, so nearly that for the purpose of estimating its convenience to the devotee of its unlimited use we may put aside the difference,. a little less than one-seven-teenih. The discounted payment, the $3,000 in silver, would weigh nearly 180 pounds, but little less than tbe weight of a barrel ot flour. It would be a comical scene to watch Voorhees and Matthews and their fellow admirers of ancestral coinage going up to the treasury counter, expecting to get their balance in bills that they could slip neatly into the breast pocket of the coat, or in gold that wobld not weigh more than a few pounds, or more than fill a moderate pocket, and see the chagrin that would creep up their faces, and flop down their under lipr, and stare painfully out of their eyes, as the counter was heaped with .the depreciated rash of ^heir idolatry, and tkey saw they would have to hire a dray to haul it off, or sell it for handier money-at its actual value and lose one twelfth of it by the transaction. That is just the way they should be paid. They couldn't object, They would be getting just what they insist everybody shall take. To force them to swallow the medicine they believe in so devoutly is strict justice, and more, it is liberality. If there is loss and trouble in it they have nobody to thank but themselves. Every man of them should take his pay in his pet money, and stand the draysge and discount.

The News must find stronger reasons than these for the faith that it in it. People do not go about with from $2,000 to $3,000 in their pockets inviting garroting. The remonetization of silver does not mean the abrogation of all the appliances which commercial transactions have introduced among men to facilitate business. It will be as possible to draw a check after silver is

remonetized as it is now. Exchange will be brought between the east and west, the north and south then as now, Besides silver is r.ot intended to super cede paper, but only to supplement it, and make good the promise on its face and give the vorid assurance of its stability in value, it would be tangible evidence that the redeemer of the rag-baby liveth. 1 ..

For along time past 'little Riley' had not been well. He complained of a pain in his breast and of weakness, but he stuck manfully to his work. One morning lately he said to one of hi* customers: 'I can't black your boots any more. I have no strength left, and the doctor says I must give it up 'and subsequently he was often observed sitting in some doorway, weary and pale, with his unsold newspapers under his arm, fagged out. It was evident lhat Riley »vas dying in the harness. Perhaps his parents noticed it, perhaps they did not, but Riley peddled newspapers almost up to the hour that the silver cord was loosed. Sunday last was a weary day for him. He was uearing the end of his earthly journey. He was well knovin at the Monongahelfr House, and ofu*n. through the kindness rf tue attaches, got his in" On Sunday he went into .f' uiuting and was siezed with a severe In of coughing. Mr. Fishberne entered into conversation with him and asked him how he felt. 'I don't want to live any longer,' said Riley '1 long for rest.' Poor fellow! his wish was soon fulfilled.. At four o'clock that afternoon little Riley was noticed more pale and weak than usual, holding to a lamp-post, and with some unsold papers. Nobody knows how he got home, but he was ill all night. His father, a deckhand, was to start out in the morning to''' make a trip down the river, and Johnny, sick as he was, was afraid cf disturbing his father's sleep. 'In the morning,'said his fathei, he came down stairs at 6 o'clock to eat his breakfast. I had left to go down the river. All night Johnny had been in a kind of dazed condition, but he sat up to the table and tried to eat. He could eat nothing but drank a cup of coffee. His mother then said: 'Jonny. don't think vou need go for your papers for an hour or so. Go up stairs and lie down, and maybe you'll feel better.' 'I think I will, mother,' said he, and he went as far as the foot of the stairs. Here he stopped and said: 'Mother, did father bid me good-by before he went away I can't mind.' 'Yes, Johnny,' She answered. 'I'm so glad of that,' said he 'and I'm glad he didn't say anything because I disturbed him in the night." Then Johnny tried to go up stairs, but he was to* weak, and he said, 'Mother, can you carry me up?' 'I'll try, Johnny,' she said, and she to%k him in her arms, As she did so he said in a strange voice: 'Oh, mother!' and these were his last words. Before she got up stairs he was dead." This morning was the time appointed for the funeral. Through the exertions of Mr. Newell sufficient sum of money had been raised to defray the expenses of a decent burial, and the pall-bearers were four newsboys who had been companions of Riley's, and a delegation of about thir ty newsboys accompanied the remains to the cathedial, where the funeral services were conducted by Rev. Father Reardon. At the next newsboys' dinner there will be a vacant seat at the head of the table, draped in mourning. For seven years past that seat has been occupied by johnny Riley, who was always given the seat of honor in consequence ot his deformity and diminutive fize. Me was in his fifteenth year, and had been a newsboy for about ten years »•.

The doctor gave a few directions to the colored won'en ihat sat around 'Liza's bed, and started to leave, when he was recalled by the old woman, who was drifting out with the tide 'Marse John, stay wid uv till it's ober.

The soul, while pluming it} wings for its flight to the Great Beyond, rested on the dusky face of the sleeper, and the watchers, with bowed heads, wept silently. She was dead.

THE LAST SCHEME

TO DEFEAT "K HOC KING DOWN." ^omeof the railroads leading out of St. Louis have adopted a rather curious method of securing themselves against any peculations on the part of the conductors. It l.ad for a long time been customary to compel passengers to buy tickets from the ticket agents, 6y requiring them to pay ten cents extra to the conductor in case they did not provide themselves with pasteboards. The Illinois courts, however, decided that this extra charge was unlawful,* and if the passenger offered the regular ticket price to a conductor for his far£, he would have a claim for damages should the conductor refuse to accept it, and put him off. This necessitated a new scheme, and one which has for some time been in vogue on some of the eastern roads was adopted. The ticketless passenger is required, a6 before, to pay ten cents more than regular fare to the* conductor, but the conductor must, in return, give him a check indicating the amount paid, the station traveled to and from, and the date, and the company pavs to the passenger ten cents for this ticket at any station where it may be presented. Thus" the traveler pays really only regular rates, yet the company has in ifc possession a ticket which seryes as a check against the conductor.

ABOUT A BULL PUP.

A' SAVAGE MURDER IN" "CISCISNATI WITHOUT PROVOCATION. From the Cincinnati Enquirer, Pec., 13.

Yesterday afternoon, just after the city bells had rung out for twelve, old Jakey Horn, a man known fatriliarly for the last thirty-five years among the drovers and packers of Cincinnati, was fatally stabb°d in Bill Tezeler's saloon, located in a little lane leading from spring grove avenue to S. Keek's packing house. His murderer was Fred Friisch, a cattle driver, who, for several seasons, has been employed about the stock pen«, and who, at the stock yards, is only known as 'Dutch Fritz.' Fritsch had been on a lark for the past two days, and during most of yesterday morning Horn had been orinking with him. The night before a bull pup, which Fritsch had bought by the advice of Horn, had a professional figrtt with a dog in the neighborhood of Camp Washington. Fritsch had purchased the pup hoping to use him in driving cattle. For this business he had proved a failure, but as a fighter he was a success. Disappointed in his pup Fritsch was disposed to growl at 1 lorn, but the latter, discovering the plucky characteristics of the animal, endeavored to p*ove thein a virtue and to convince Fritsch that the pup's failure 10 utilize was offset by his success in a battle. This did not at all finooth Fritsch's ruffled tempei\ but, on the contrary, made him: more quarrelsome. The two sat in one corner of ihe saloon, but neither talked loud enough to be distinctly heard by other men who chanced to be in the same room. Fritsch did the more talking of the two, however, and it- was not noticed that Horn showed any anger. Suddenly Fritsch rcached across the table toward Horn, when the latter drew back, but as he did so the former kicked the chair out from under him. Horn picked himself up, still showing no anger and again sat down in his chair, when Fritsch again pushed' the chair from under him, let him on the floor, and then walked out of the saloon. Horn arose and stood looking out of a window near which he had been sitting, evidently a little dazed with whisky and perplexed with the unexpected treatment of his partner. It was while he was thus standing that Fritsch again entered the saloon with & hrge jack knife open, concealed up his coat sleeve. He walked straight up to Horn, dropping the concealed knife down into his hand, and before any of the spectators could rise to their feet threw his left arm around Hern's neck, and with his right plunged the knife blade clear to the handle into the latter's breast, very near the heart, then closed the knife and attempted to strike his victim with the fist in which the knife was clinched, bnt was pie ented by a by stander. Horn was then led out-doors, and in a moment after fell on his face in the mud. He was turned over by some one of the men wh» had by this time gathered at the scene of the tragedy, a-nd as he muttered 'I'm cut' he sank into an unconsciousness frchi which he nei aroused.

WHY BUTLER HOLDS ON THOSE BRICKBATS. Froa tbe 'Washington Correspondcc.ee ot too Spring field Be)ub.ican.

There wouldn't be much difficulty ie arranging a compromise between the president and Mr. Conkling, if it wer not for the presenceof Mr. Evans in the cabinet. That these gentlemen do not love or even like each other and can not get on together, the world knows. Evarts knows something of New York politics, and he is not willing to let Conkling boss them exclusively, and so long as he is in the cabinet I do not expect to see any very cordial relations between the senator and the president. I was speaking with one of Conkling*s friends the other day upon this subject, and he said: 'Mr, Conkling does not desire-to control the nominations in his state all that he asks is the same consideration that is given without the asking to General Butler in Massachusetts, or General Gordon, inpeorgia. You know as well as I. do that not one of Butler's nominees in Massachusetts has been removed, and the President will not remove one ot them unless driven to it by their gross misconduct. It would not be fair to say that the president is afraid of General Butler, but he prefers his friendship. All that Mr. Conkling asks ia the same treatment and consideration.' I think that what this man said of Butler and the president is true. When Judge Carter went to Butler latt spring, I am told that he said to him: 'What cause for complaint have you got? Not one of your friends, in office has been removed, or will be removed, if they conduct them selves properly. Why then should you be unfriendfy to the president?' And it looks as if Uncle Ben thought that this was good advice, for he hasn't flung one of his bricks yet at the head of the president or any member of his administration. .-I

FASHION NOTES.

NOVELTIES IN TRIMMING —NEW STYLES OF FRINGE,

t'"'- J- 5,:^ From the Sew York Times,*

The novelty in trimming at present is marabout and tringe 'laminee.' Tnis consists of a kind of watered silk. The cascade fringe is one of the handsomest trimmings in this 6tyle, It is composed of three or four rows of the watered fringe, each row placed over the other, and being from about six to ten inches in depth The combination of Mohair woolen lace, and which is alsj watered, constitutes the marabout trimming already named. This 'laminee' fringe is already to be seen upon all new ParUian confections. It is very elegant, and the effect of the long, glistening, watered silk fringe is really beautiful. In addition to this article there are many kinds of fringe and marabou trimmings combined with chemille, clair de tur.e, and gorge de pigeon beads. Sometimes the f.inge, instead of being placeJ on the usual straight line, is arranged in separate *uft«, with a heading of passementerie. The trimming is sometimes made deeper by additicnal tufts. These frings are preferred to fur for rich confections. Grecian passementerie is made of simple mohair, in small squares, is used all over the outer .garments., and arranged in Greek designs. Plush galloon, with satin on the inside, in cither the same or a different color, is much fa vored. It is generally made into bows, with long loops so arranged that each side of the galloon shows in turn. It is particularly appropriate with broches, beige bourre de soie,' the galloon bein in the colors of the material. This rule also applies to the double-faced satin ribbon, some costumes comprising loops in five different colors. The 'galon folic' consists of a perfect river cf gorge de pigeon or clair de lun* beads over an open work grounding. A fringe in the same styles is used witu this trimming. The gorge de pigeon beads are preferred to the other, as being lees bright and showy. A novelty in trimming, also, used by modistes, lingeres and dressmaers, is called 'tissu plume.' It is a material about twenty-four inches wide, with the woof, of cotten, forming the side of feather, and the downy part the top. This is pretty and warm, and is manufactured in black, in white and in all colors. It is sold by the yard, and ia bands. Some bonnets have already been trimmed with this downy material. Among others is the following model: A seal-colored velvet 'toque' is made with this material in the same shade, forming a border. The aigretta consists of the three fiat gilded feathers fastened to the sidte by two golden sticks with a Japenese ball. FANS AND CHATELAINES—

Chatelaines worn with colored fans are ot silver or oxidized silver. A favorite design for the Clasp is the Japanese or a half-opened fan the Japanese fan is a marked feature in the decoration of many other articles now worn as accessories. Evening fans for ball dresses are Attached bv ribbons matching the dress or trimming*, by chateaines or fine flowers, or by chains of gold or some other jewelled design which1 adds richness to the dress.

Belt clasps and buckles are forming important points in ladies' outfits. The belr is sometimes half of sill, with the entire front of silver or oxidized ornaments with pendant designs, whic.1 make it quite a valuable addition to dress. Other belt clasps resemble cavalry or soldier buckles, and are worn with leather or heavy silk beltings. Domestic manufacture here also rivals the foreign importations.

Cloak clasps, for the large and heavy winter garments, are also much used those of doim-Mu make closely imitate foreign t.i»s, arid equal them in durability. bom-J of these nave rosette patterns with pendants, or are of fine silver beads forming chains, and are used on opera cloaks. Among imported onea are oxidized nickel tor street wear, which do not tarnish with constant use. Some of the silver gilt are in the Japanese designs, which are just now so popular abroad

With sliver buckles and clasps come silver or oxodized pins foi scaris, and also larger ones for the tiair. These are generally flat with the pattern in relief, with storks and other birds of Japanese design, the fan being again an important feature, in these designs. But equally attractive are the many quaint designs representing a ladder on which a locust creeps, a broken ladder, a deer's foot with a hunter's cap, or a jockey c^p with a whip, or the smaller designs representing fens, swords, scissors, whips, lizards and fern fronds. One of thr newest designs for a lady's

scarf-pin was a real very fine cut steel about it.

CLOA K-

CLASPS AND BELT-CLASPS—PINS FOR 8CARF8 AND FOR THE HAIR. [From the New York Evening Post. With the more important features of the tall fashions there aie many minor ones which are mad^ to assume prominent places for the time being in a lady's costume, and as they are all tasty articles, and are also capable of satisfying the demand which is soon to arise for Christmas or holiday presents, they may be spoken of as acceptable gifts to ladies.

Fans, which form an indispensable article of dress, and which are now made to tone with the evening costumes or balll dresses, as well as with theatre or less dressy toile(s, are of all kinds, from the rich white satin fan for bridal occasions with its covering of Alencon tor old point*, to the sober, dark-colored tan with Russian 1 ather sticks. The newest fan for evenings are mostly white, with introductions of color in the shape of verv small flower blossoms, such as lilies of the valley, with fainU yellow stems and forget-me-mots, or pompon rosebuds these are nestied in the marabout tops, and so arranged as to form a bunch of flowers wheh the fan is shut. The black fans of this kind are equallv dressy, the flowers introduced being of the brightest tints of scarlet or yellow, and very Spanish in effect. Other fans have tiny flecks of color introduced in harlequin, shades and very pretty when ia motion. The sticks of these lans are in ivory, ebony, or bone. Fans with cherry-wood sticks are a novelty, tipped with silver Vienna wood fans are finished in the same way, and are as pretty when folded as unfolded the tops have prettily-painted designs in the Watteau style, sometimes painted very carefully, according to the price of the fan or the top of satin is embroidered in flosses or net is stretched on them thickly embroidered with glittering beads.' Dark green is a favorite color in fans this year, the marabcut top, and the satin being often of the tone of color of the principal tall good*.

ONE NIGHT OF SWEARING.

THE FEARFUL SOUNDS THAT KEPT SLEEPING-CAR AWAKE ALL NIGHT. From tho Bmlington Ilawkeyc.

It was in the Ced.ir Rapiils sleeper Outside it was dark a th»r inside of 0 ink bottle. In the «leeping-car peopl slept.

Or tried it. Some of them slept like Christian me and women, peacefully and sweetlv an quietly.

Others slept like demons, malignantl hideously, fiendishly as though it wa their mission to keep everyoody els awake.

Of these, the man in lower nvimbe three was the 'boss.' When it came to square snore with variations, you wante* to count 'lower throe' in, with a ful hand and a pocketful of rocks.

We never heard anything snore lik him. It w«ts the moM systematic sno ing that was ever done, even on one those tournaments of snoring, a t-leepin car. He didn't begin as soon as th lamps were turned down and everybod was in bed Oh, no. There was nior cold-blooded diabolism in his syste than that. He waited until everjboc' had had a little taste of sleep, just to se how good and pleasant it was, and the he broke in on their slumbers like winged, breathing demond, and the never knew what peace was again th night.

Hestarted out with a terrific. 'Gn r-t That opened every eye in the car. W all hoped it was an accident, howeve and trusting that he wouldn't do it agai we all forgave him. Then he blasted ou hopes and curdled the sweet serenity our forgiveness bv along drawn' 'Gw-a-h-h-h-hah!'

That bounded too much like busine~ to be accidenta'. Then every head that sleepless sleeper was held off the pi low frr a minute, waiting, in breathle suspense, to hear the worst, ana the slee er in 'lower three' went on, in long draw regular cadences that indicated good sta ing qualities. 'Gwa-a ah! Gwa a-a-h! Gahwahwal Gahwahwah! Gahwa-a-a-ah!'

Evidently it was going to last all nigh bnd the weary heads dropped back the sleepless pillows, and the swearin began. It mumbled along in low, mu' ttring tones, like the distant echoes of profane thunderstorm. Pretty soo 'lower three' gave ui a little variatio He shot off a spiteful 'Gwook
