IN many places in the city a boat wouid have been a useful article, Sunday evening to church goers.

THE new street railway has been completed on north Sixth street to the I. & St. L. depot and cars will begin making regular trips this week.

ONE Col. L. V. S. Mattison has been arrested at Oswego, on a charge of opening his wife's letters, which, by the ruling of the post office department, is unlawful^

Now, that the workmen have that switch on the Sixth street railroad fin ished, the work of laying the remainder of the track will soon be accomplished.

A PROMINENT physician of the city was heard to remark lately that the present health of the people in this city .afforded a splendid chance for the profession to wear out their old clothes, and 'to look op old accounts.

A WIFE in this city, whose husband Kbelongs to the A. O. U. W., and don't get home trom lodge meetings until two or three o'clock in the A. M., says she is opposed to the order, but knows her husband won't lie. He would be heme sooner if the meeting was closed.

RUMOR says that a party of gentlemen, numbering nearly a dozen are soon to take a pleasure trip through the Southcrn States, making Florida the prospec '•tive point. The party will be composed of some of the very best, as well as the wealthiest of our city's business men.

A GAME of chance, which amountn to nothing more or less than a gambling affair, is being carried on at the corner of Fourth and Main streets daily. Its principal patrons are boys, some of whom tseem to have fallen in love with the af.fair, and as fast as they get a dime march direct to the machine and deposit it.

IT is reported that over about Living,..3ton, which is about twelve miles west, ..and thence south as far as Darwin, a greater number of squirrels, rabbits and v,quails has not been known for years before. It was said before the recent rain that along the creeks or wherever water was to be found one could get all the game he desired with a club. 1"

BURNS, the g,reat Scottish bard, said, ,-*f'Oh wad some power the gittie gie us, To see oursel's as ithers see us." But that was manv years ago, before the days of photography. If he bad been living here in Terre Haute, he would only need to call at J. M. Adams' elegant "photo-

graph gallery, in his new chambeis, on Main street, and he could have seen his exact self, in lifelike manner.

prejudice against the auction trade for the reason that that business has never ,been properly conducted in this city, and many have had the iJea that goods sold at auction were 6ham, cheap or damaged 2 goods.

Since LaFlesii & Warner have opened is their auction and commission house they have proven to the public that a good

first-class article could be sold at auction as well as at .private sale. Perhaps the reader *»^is not aware that one-third of ,.,the dry goods sold in Terre Haute were bought at auction. If the dealer can buy at auction, why not the consumer?

Messrs. LeFlesh & Warner had cn Tuesday a special sale of fine imported Scotch shawls, and to-morrow will close out the remainder of them. These shawls are extra fine, there is no finer in the city We noticed in their store yes--^terday some of the first ladies in the city, 1 which is an evidence that the gentlemen understand tunning a first class auction h0U8C.

jTHE UNITED STATES COLLECTORSH1P. I A short item appeared in one of the '.weekly papers, 01 last Saturday, in rela

™"tion to the United States collectorship, of "Y' ^this reyenve district,"which was, wrong in its representation of the case.

Briefly stated, a short time ago. while »Gen. White, the collector, was confined to his bed by dangerous illness, a number

of the old ring who made the hard as«ault on him last year, aided by several recent disgusted office seekers, attempted to get up another fight upon him, and put him and the present force of assistants out, and count themselves in. But the scheme didn't work close

and rigid investigation of the books and

't affairs of this valuable district only showed the mcst capable and thorough rr.anagemenl and strictest honesty on the part of the worthy collector. In fact there was no charge that could possiblv be sustained against Gen. White, and

$ the revenue inspector complimented him for the exact order of all things in this district.

The articfe published stated that Messrs. L%A. Burnett, Hon. I. N. Pierce and Major Frank Cra»vford, were aspirants seeking the office, but investigation shows that none of them are making any effort at all for the position, and they emphatically deny any connection with any scheme against the General. The warm frieftdship between Generai Hunter and General White is well known. They are old fellow neighbors and served together in the war, and Secretary Thompson will encage in no assault on the General. So it is safe to assert that all rumors and statements in the matter have no foundation

This was a suit bronght for an injunction to restrain the defendants, except the I. and St. L. Company, from receiving from that company any moneys advanced to it for operating purposes, and to prevent the I. & St. L. from paying interest on its bonds held by its co-defendant companies. The court went fully into the details of the agreement between the complainant and defendants by which the latter organized the Indiana polis and St. Louis railroad company to lease and operate the road of the St. Louis, Alton and Terre Haute company, for the purpose of giving them control of a line from Indianapolis to St. Louis. They guarran teed to the St. L., A. & T. H. Co. 30 per cent, of the gross earnings of its own road from Terre Haute to East. St. Louis, and the branch to Alton, until the earnings reached $2,000,000 per year 25 per cent, from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 and twenty per cent, over $3^000,000 providing that such payments shall amount to $450,000 per year, the minimum sum agreed upon for one year's rental. The Pennsylvania company afterward* withdrew from the arrangement, and went into a rival line from this city to St. Louis, and subsequently leased the P. F. & W. & C. road agreeing to perfoim its (the P. F. W. & C. Co.'s) part of the contract with the complainant company. The Pennsylvania company failed to do so, and diverted from the I. & Sf. L., road to the Vandalia all the business it could control, reducing the revenues of the I. & St. L., to such an extent that the latter became in solvent and is ur.able to pay to the com plainant the rent specified in the lease. Since 1S71 the net earnings of the leased line have been less than the minimum rental agreed upon and the sum of $1, 167,170.24 has been advanced to the I & St. L., company by the defendants, the C. C. C. & I, L. S. & M. S and P. Ft. W. & C., companies to "meet the deficit, but since April, 1878, the rental has not been paid.

The defendants argued that the I. & St. L. company was organized as other companies, and that the remedy of the

VUIUjiaillVO) vaav v«

lessor (complainant) was in court of law

guaranty

The judgement of the court is that "until final hearing the I. and St. L. will be required to pay into court monthly for and on account of said rental thirty per cent, of the gros earnings of the leased line, and it will be enjoined from paying to the C., C., C. & I., the L. S. & M. S., the P., Ft. W. & C., the Penn. R. R. Co. and the Penn. Co. interest on any of ith mortgages or equipment bonds, owned or held by said companies, either of them, so long as thirty per cent, of said gross earnings shall not equal the minimum rental also for paying to raid companies, or either of them, any moneys on account of advances made as aforesaid by them, or either of them, to said I. 8l St. L., and the said companies will be enjoined from receiving from the I. & St. L. any portion of the earnings of said leased line in payment of principal or interest, of mortgage or equipment bonds of the I. & St. L., owned or held by said guarantors or either ot them also from receiving from said I. & St. L. any sum or payment, jn whole or part, of advances made as aforesaid by said companies, or either of them, to said I. & St. L. also from selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of any mortgage or equipment bonds of said I & St. L., owned or held by said companies, or either of them.

The court aleo said: A futher important coside ration on the question of jurisdiction remains, vis: The right of. the complainant to go into court of equity to enforce the obligation of the Pennsylvania railroad company to pay any sum from the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago on its contract-of guaranty. If the jurisdiction properly attaches for this puypose, as we think it does, all the parties and the subject of controversy being before the court, it will take jurisdiction for all purposes.

.:h THE xfiKHE HAUTE WEEKLY GAZETTE.

THOSE TWO LECTURERS.

WHAT A GBNTLRMAN THINKS OF THE VIEW "FROM A WOMAN'S STANDPOINT." To the litor of the GAZKTTI

DEAR SIR :—In your issue of Saturday I notice a communication headed "A Woman's Words," the same being a comparison of the two lecturers, Ingersoll and Phillips. The severity of the strictures upon the former amounts almost to personal anin.06ity and distracts largely from the little weight the article might otherwise posess.

I do not take it upon myself to defend Mr. Ingersoll, and I differ largely from him on the most vital points, but when I see him assailed so unjustly, I feel like protesting.

Your correspondent accounts for Mr. Ingersoll's having adherents by a quotation "If you say a thing loug enough1 and loud enough, and with sufficient enthusiasm, you generally can get some people to believe it, no matter how absurd and how falae it may be but let me ask: "If Mr. Ingersoll, with crying 'as loud, and as long, and with as much enthusiam' as he has during the few years he. has been thus engaged, tias but—as your correspondent says-—a few adherents, is not Christianity woefully short of followers seeing that "it has been crying so loud and so enthusiastically for nearly two thourand years. Why, if it had but done so moder aely well as Mr. ingersoll in gaining adherents, it should long ere this have had the whole world proselyted and have leen sighing now for more worlds to conquer but instead this it has not one quarter of the world yet subdued.

I shall not make a comparison of the relative high standing of Christian and un-Christian countries—this would be too long But the claim thai all superior civilization,—as in Europe and America, —is due to the influence of the Bible aid Christianity, though so often urged, is certainly unfounded, nay almost ridiculous when it is remembered that almost every advance, whereby these peoples have attained to their superiority, has been strenuously opposed by the adhe rents of this same bible that is so enlightening and in many cases it has been so dangerous to propound God's truths that the doing so was almost equivalent to the taking of one's own life but the suicide hap, in every case, been applauded by the world.

Your correspondent, speaking of the happy family life of Mr. Ingersoll, says, "I don't believe a word of it." I should like to ask upon what grounds 6he disbelieves it. Is it that the universal testimony to that effect is questionable? Have you heard anything to the contrary? I know nothing of the matter, except what general report says, and the I fact that I read in his face that he is a

naPPy man*

on the guaranty. the court,.,., c?rr«po„d.nt ^.Uo apprr

ever: It is too plain for controversy that, leaving out the Penn. R. R. Co., the Penn. Co. and the I. C. & L., the remaining guarantors built the new road and officered it in their own interest, that being the only way for them to get aline from Indianapolis to St. Louis. The new road in the name of the I. & St. L. as an Indianapolis corporation, because it could be Built in 00 other way. Practically the companies named owned the I. & St. L., and to day they own the stock in this road, with the exceyt'on of what is held by others to quality them to act a* directors. The gaurantors, with the exceptions named, created the lessee company for their own convenience and profit, and have never ceased to be its managers and governors. The I & St. Louis has never ceased to pay interest on its bonds, in .the hands erf the guarantors, ont of the earnings of the leased road, and those companies still insist that the interest due on londs «rail be ptid whether the rental is paid or not. There is no equity in this demand, and the interest due on bonds held oy the guarantors must be postponed in favor the lessors' claim for its rental.

hands that if Mr soli's ideas should become prevalent woman would "inevitably lose her present position and sink again into a drudge and a toy," but see no reason for this apprehension. Woman was a drudge and a toy among christians for fifteen long centuries, and, in the light of 1 his, is it not rather presumptuous on the part of Christians, just at the time when political and philosophical changes have been turning the world topsy turvy, and woman(s condition is being elevated to step up and say, "Look you how' we have raised up woman!" I think it at least a debatable question as to whether Christianity did it or not. Perhaps, perhaps, Christianity raised the putrid body of Lazarus to life, but alas! there are not Christians enough in all this Christian city to raise one frail, fallen woman from a life of shame to one of purity and virtue—and yet this is the power (so said) that is to save all this fallen and wretched world, and whoever dares to lift up a voice against it Or criticize it is denounced as a heretic and blasphemer I do not agree with Mr. Ingersoll that ail so-called Christians are hypocrites I believe that the most of them are sincere in what they profess but I do dislike the manner in, which PO many of them claim a monopoly of goodness and* holiness. Why, one might almost be led to think, from their words, that they have a ''corner" on purity and virtue. Your correspondent's quotation from Thoreau is very beautiful, but rather complimentary than derogatory. Here it is in full: "We are all sculptors and painters and our materials are our own flesh and blood and bone. Any nobleness begins at once to refine a man's features any meanness or sensuality to embrute them."

This is as true as it is beautiful. The human countenance is not opaque but highly translucent, and the light of the soul shines through it like the light of a candle through fine porcelain. If that light be made up of the black thoughts of envy and malice and pride and sensuality, the countenance will betray it but there is no such indication in the countenance of Mr. Ingersoll. Rather, he seems the personation of geniality, manliness, nobility and elevation of thought and sentiment. Let us heap obliquy upon no man, but have entire freedom of thought and speech. Bitter maledictions and terrible auathem8s against infidels cannot strengthen Christianity. One life, lived according to its precepts, is a sermon of such eloquence in its favor as shall echoe and re-echoe'4till the lastsylable of recorded time.'' tl' F. T.

ALLEGED DISCOVERIES

From the Indianapolis Journal. It is reported on the authority of English papers that Lockyer, thewell-known English astronomer, has discovered that all bodies which are now recognized by chemists as elements are but forms of disguised hydrogen. In the scientific sense an element is an ultimate and undecdmposable constituent of matter. Heretofore scientists nave enumerated about sixty of these. To say, therefore, that these ultimate elements are each and ali but different forms of hydrogen in disiruise is to say in effect that the world and all that is in it—earth, air, water, and all that in them dwell, are composed of this imponderable gas. If this is true it is ths most wonderful scientific discovery of modern times. But the reported discovery is' not yet fully confirmed, and when confirmed will be hard to prove. The published account says that Lockyer made the discovery by means of the spectroscope, an instrument which operates through the physical nature of light, ana whose operations and results are^hardly susceptible of practical or ocular proof. If true, the discovery can doubtless be demonstrated to the satisfaction of scientific men, and that is about all that will be necessary, for, so far as common people are concerned, the status of things will remain unchanged.

Since this paragraph was written a re port comes that Professor Tingley, of Asbury University.has made two discoveries, one of which will revolutionize several branches of mathematics, and another which will demonstrate the fallacy of the Newtonian law of gravitation under certain conditions. It is quite possible that heretofore established principles of mathematics may be modified by new discoveries, but it seems incredible that the Newtonian law. of gravitation could be shaken, or if proven fallacious in one case, why not in all? It is possible the statement is a hoax, but the public will await further information with some auxiety. If the established laws of the universe are all to be revolutionized, and the material world turned top-sy-turuy, it is but fair that man should have a* little notice in advance—Ind. Journal.

A QUSER COINCIDENCE.

A short time since, a young man. now of this city, handed us the expression of a law, which, he said, would demonstrate that the Newtonian theory ot gravitation is incorrect. It was, in substance, as follows The distance a body will fall in a given number ot seconds, instead Ot being equal to the square of the number of seconds multiplied by the distance it falls in the first second', is equal to the distance it falls du Ipng the first second multiplied by the sum of the numbers expressing the number of seconds it has been falling: thus, if it has been falling five seconds it wil have fallen 1 plus 2 plus 3 plus 4 plus 5: 15 times as far as it fell during the first second. This, however, doe» not include the slight increase of the power of grayitation by reason of the nearer approach of the bodies. To express this in connection with the other requires a fraction too long and complex to he inserted here.

Washington, Dec. 4.—The Senate confirmed P. B. Harrison of Indiana assayer at Helena, Montana.

Secretary Sherman says there is a strong speculative feeling springing up to give silver bullion in the form of trade dollars a value greater than other bullion, thus discriminating in favor of bullion held in China against bullion in the hands our miners. The secretary says the trade dollars will be bought as bullion upon bids each Wednesday, and that no preferense will be given to the trade dollars over other bullion. This is the Secretary's answer to the San Francisco offer of one million trade dollars, deliverable there from Chfna, within sixty days. f^Davis, W. Va., submitted a resolution, instructing the Congress committee son agriculture to report by a bill, what can be done by the general government to better advance aud foster agricultural interests.

A BULL STORYJV

A part of young hunters, three in number, went north of the town on Thanksgiving day. Coming home at night in a wagon,, they were descending a steep hill, when they heard what seemed to be the muffled lowing of a bull in the hollow of the road below. The driver stopped, the horse short, saying that his father had once had a horse gored by a bull and killed, and he didn't propose to run the risk of having the same thing happen to him. But there was no such thing as turning around, and so after a conference they decided to drive ahead, but ihe two other occupants of the wagon Iaoded their guns, cocked them and held them in readiness. What seemed to be the bull from which the sound preceded they could faintly discern in the hollqw. Their hearts beat rapidly as they advanced. But when they got near to the object they made two discoveries, the first of which was their dog lying under the seat that was making the noise, and the second that the object in the road was a log. Any one of the three will fight if the word "bull" is said in his presence.

THAT CHAP CHAPMAN. Mr. J. H. Chapman has completed, newly painted, papering, and calcimining his famous restaurant on south Fourth street, and now has one of the freshest, cleanest and neatest dining halls in the state. Such a nice place, such a well set table, and such low rates, are just what makes Mr. Chapman and his restaurant so popular.

Dr. von Moschsisker would say to a who need his medical services and desire to bfe treated by him, that they still liavr the opportunity to get the full benefit his treatment if they call without further delay. Requests have been made to hia to re-visit Indianapolis and Evanoville, where he has most successfully treated hundreds of cases, £but as his patients here, too, assure him that many aie anxious to avail themselves ot his treatment, he has concluded to remain at his present offices, Terre Haute House. Having shown by the testimonials ct cures from the very beat citizens what lit is able to do for those who suffer from deafness, catarrh, throat, lung and chest diseases, impaired sight, and other obstinate chronic maladies, he deems it ur necessary to further 'advertise extensive' ly, and by reducing (his expenditures he is enabled to make his fees within reach ofall who desire his services.

CHINESE THEOLOGY.

(Eli Perkins in the Cincinnati Enquirer.) Chinamen begin to show themselves in all parts of New York. Chinese laundries are very common, and on Baxter street they have a Chinese house of worship—a Joss house. Matty of the Chinamen are very bright They are all very skeptical when yoia talk about the Bible miracles, and when you come to the doctrine of the Trinity they rebel out and out. Yesterday, in a conversation, I was trying to explain to Si Wung about Christ being the Son of God. "Ye«," I said, 'Christ was the only begotten Son ot God. Da you understand Si Wung?"
