It is a neatly printed pamphlet of sixty pages from the presses of C. W. Brown, to whom the workmanship does much credit, and arranged by Mr. Armstrong, who thus enrolls himself as an author of merit. The GAZETTE has never seen abet ter catalogue printed anywhere.

jf Tueslav sfttrnoon Mr. Stephen R. "'Smith started the children's temperance movement at the First Presbyterian church.
On Sunday Mr. Smith visited the Sunday schools and invited the children to be present. There was a large crowd, many of the children being attended bv their parents. The walls were hung with charts illustrative of ihe theme.
Mr. Smith addressefl the children by giving the message sent by his boy Percy vfhen on his death bed. The pledges were opened after prayer and were signed by one hundred and twefttyfour little boys and girls.
The pledge is anti-tobacco, anti-profan-itv, and total abstinence. Mr. Smith worked up the names of the boys and Misses Pauline Williams and Lizzie Wilson, those of the girls.
Miss Mitchell, daughter
Secretary—Miss Ella Rosette. Organist—Susie Hass. This club will be called ''Percy's Band of Hope No. 8, of the Indiana branch".

o'clock this
afternoon, as the GAZETTE goes to preas. From Tuesday's Daily. This afternoon the children's temperance meeting, Percy's 3and of Hope, No. 8, met at the First Presbyterian church, with largely increased attendance.
The meeting was opened by reading of the Bible, prayer by tlie chaplain, and music by the choir. Officers were elected as follow*: President, Miss Clara Miller, of the First ward 6chool secretary, Miss Nettie Owen, of the High school treas urer, Master Willie Grav, of the Second ward school. A committee of three was appointed to announce the meetings to the public schools. The children mani fested great interest, and up to the present time there are two hundred and fifty signers. The meeting adjourned with an angements to meet at the same place to morrow at
4
o'clock.
The committee appointed by the Band to wait upon the authorities of the public schools and request them to announce the children's meetings, met for consultation with the officers of the Band after adjournment. It was arranged by the committee to call upon the principals of the several schools to-morrow morning and request the announcement in the name of •'Percy^s Bandjof Hope."
Miss Cora Piety was requested bv the Band to form a choir of the larger "girls, and to rehearse in time for the next meeting. It was also proposed that the children bring pennies to buy ribbon for the blue bows.
The larger girls propose a grand children's reception, to take place at the Opera House at an early day. The Band will consider the proposition at the next meeting.
One little girl confessed to having broken her pledge with cider, and a member of company A, of the military corps, was accused of having broken his pledge with a naughty word, ifoth were forgiven the first offense bjj a vote of the Band.

Melbourne,Victoria, Australia, Nov. 2Sth 1878. DEAR GAZETTE—Melbourne is more like an American city than Sydney is. The streets are broad, well paved ahd well lighted at night. It has some magnificent parks and gardens, and a zoological garden that has many rare beasts and birds, including a white peacock. The hctels, however, are like all English hotels. No matter how fine, no matter how much the charge, it is always poor compared with first class American hotels, and the cooking would drive a Terre Haute housekeeper mad. First of all: the ladies seldom or never go to the dining room for meals. All meals are served in the parlor adjoining your bed room. This of course makes a "suite*'of rooms a necessity, and of course the price is correspondingly high. Then when dinner is served, instead of bringing in vour order on side dishes as in the U. S. hotels, everything is brought on in a large quantity. If you have ordered roast beef, a whole roast is brought in on a large silver platter, and you do your own carving. It you want a 9mall piece of duck they bring in the whole foul in a large dish, swimming in gravy, and it's quite delicious while cutting it up with a dull, silvar plated knife, to spatter the gravy all over your clean shirt, and pull the ductf out of the dish, and it slips on he
and you tramp on it, and kick
the stuffing out of it, and get yourself in a cold sweat for fear it .will run oft" and yell ''quack" at you. The vegetables are few and pocr. Thev never give you mashed potatoes, or fried or baked potatoes, but they peel the potatoes, cook them in clear water, not a particle of seasoning of any kind, but served in a silver dish with "an everlasting big cover on it. When the dish is brought in with the rest, the waiter is puffing and blowing and your anticipations are raised to the highest when you see so many nice silver dishes with big covers on them, but when the covers are raised there is a liar dful of green peas, about half done, cooked in clear water, no seasoning of any kind, and absolutely insipid and tasteless. The asparagus is ditto, cauliflower do do. They have no 6\veet corn, no cabbage, nothing but potatoes, peas, asparagus and cauliflower. No canned fruits of any kind. No ice crean^ No truit excepting at dessert for dinner, and then they bring in strawberries and cherries with the stems still on and just fancy a gentleman boarder at the Terre Haute House picking his own strawberries at the table. They make up for lack of eatables by giving you plates. They usually give me a pile of at least five or six, and yo.i change plates every.two minutts by the watcli. If you go to the general dining room, they set a big roast in front of you, or a towfof some kind, and you must carve and help every one at the table, even if vou don't gel anything to eat yourself. The waiters don't carve, but merely hand the stntf around after ou have dished it out. The waiters are all men of middle age, dress in swallow-tail coats, with high stand-up collars, regular chokers, and they are 30 stiff that if by any accident they happen to stumble and fall they usually break in several pieces quite recently two or three have died that
—I mean the waiters, not the collars. It wouid pay some man to start a good barber shop here. The barbers simply murder you and charge sixpence (i. e., 12 cents) for it. I think they must use soft-soap, judging from the way it smells and makes my face sore, and there isn't a real sharp razor in all Australia. The barber chairs are- the funniest and meanest little things ever invented. I can describe them to you will comprehend me perfectly. Take a pine shingle and cut a semi-circular piece out of the end of it. Nail this shingle to the back ot an ordinary wooden arm-chair, (like one of the cheap chairs in the GAZETTE office) and vou have an Australian barber chair. When vou Are shaved they don't give you a clean towel, but use the same towel (for several years, I judge from the color and smell) for each customer.
The people have a wise way of disappointing one. I went to a shoemaker and wanted a heel on my shoe. "All -right, sir give it to you day after to-mqr-row." I Vvent for that shoe seven times. The same way with washerwomen, earpen ere, scene pa nters, ta 1 rs, etc. etc.
The newspaper men are all gentlemen, and are jovial good fellows. Ive met several dozen, and they have all treated me cordially and I must confess have flattered one terribly by their reports. There is an opening tor a good penny paper in Sydney. If has only one morning paper, price three pence, (equal to six cents). A penny paper well managed would he a big success, as Svdnev has

"Melbourne is more go-ahead than Sydney. The people are more liberal, the people here are sociable, pleasant and intellectual.
Slade, the great spiritual humbug, was here a few days after our arrival, but soon as we advertised he skipped out for Sandhurst —Ive made a feature of duplicating his slate writing and it has crea ted much discussion.
You will sec by the papers I send that I have been drawing great crowds for the past two weeks here. The papers seem to like my stage talk and compare me to Mark Twain, Artemus Ward and Brete Harte, which is certainly complimentr* to Messrs. Twain, Ward and Harte, and hasn't made me a bit angry. I can stand it if Twain and Harte can, poor Ward is dead so he is obliged to stand it.
The climate here is peculiar, one day it awful hot, the next day it is so cold tnat one needs two overcoats, and the wind blows a gale about two thirds of the time, so it is fearfully dusty.
Here is a city of 200,000, Sydney has 160,000, yet is neither a city is there a steam fire engine. I saw

boys" going to a fir* in -Sydney with a little squirting machine fbout as„B«E as a
HE TERRE HAUTE WEEKLY GAZETTE
wash tub, and one that when worked by a dozen men, threw a stream of water about as big as a lead-pencil. Thev d«o't have big ti»es here. And when the fire sees one of those terrible engines coming it usually gets frightened, and goes "down and out." The only thing that saves the cities is the absence of wooden houses. Nearly all the houses are brick with slate or iron roofs. I haven't seen a dozen sningle roofs since coming here, and the partition walls are usually brick instead of lath work as in Indiana.
The telegraph poles in the cities are all of iron, and are ahead of the wooden poles used in the United States.
Lots ot pretty girls here, and many fine, handsome men. The theatres are poor when compared to those in the United States. The people though are very liberal and if they like a show, turn out well. I was in Sydney nearly four weeks to large business. A city ot the same size in the United States, for an entertainment like mine, would only be good for

Removal of Collector Frank White.
PSSfI#Pis? tat JFrjm Wednes lay'3 Daily p1 Yesterday Collector Frank White received a telegram from Hon. M. C. Hunter stating that he had been removed from his office here to take effect probably on tie 1st of February.
The reports that Mr. D. W. Minshall had been appointed to succeed him are premature, though it is probable that this is the disposition that will be made of the office.
Hopes are entertained still in a good man}' quarters that Hon. Isaac N. Pierce will receive the appointment in fitting recognition of his many and valuable services to the Republican party.
Collector White has been steadily assailed for a long time but has resisted removal in a sturdy fight.

The constitutional amendments came up for discussion without result, some of the Democratic statesmen thought they scented a scheme to protract the session to 120 days, and to defeat the project thev wanted all legislation hurried up.

THE COLNTV COMMISSIONERS
met in special session this morning. Judge T. B. Long voluntarily came before the board and expressed a desire to pay over to the county commissioners and through them to the treasurer
$2,750,
being the amount of money overdrawn by by him during five vears and a half. He and attorneys with whom he advised on the matter at the time decided that he was legally entitled to
$2,500
per
annum. A subsequent decision of the supreme court on an analagous case and fuller investigation of the law by himself has convinced him that his salary is and should have been
$2,000
instead
His voluntary appearance
and return of money to which he believled at the time he "was entitled but to which he is now pursuaded he was jt reflects credit upon him and gives the people assurance that the confidence they iiave reposed in his integrity and judicial fairness was not misplaced. It is an uncommon spectacle, and as pleasing as uncommon, to see an act of this kind done.
The Board will be in session for a day or two.

Here's a souvenir of the great Abraham Lincoln. It is a true copy of a letter on file among the archives of the Chicago & Alton Road, at the Superintendents office in Bloomington. It is a modest rexuest for the renewal of a season pass on the Alton road: "Springfield. Feb. 13, 1858"R. P. Morgan, Supt. C. & A. Railroad. "DEAR SIR—Says Sam to John:
Here's your old rotten wheelbarrow. I've broke it usin' on it. I wish you would take it and mend it, case I shall want to barrow it this afternoon.'

Now that the political pot has ceased to boil, why not talk up a union of the National and Democratic party In union there is strength. The Nationals have no faith in the so-called fiat money, (that is in the common acceptation of the term). They are firm believers in the greenback, and opposed to the national bank system so are the Democrats. On the two great issues there is no perceptible difference to the ordinary voter, and why not drop minor issues, and for the good of the whole people, unite on* one common platform broad enough for all to stand on.

JAURIET'S FIVE CENT COUNTER.
It is.Not a Toy Stand.
During the holidays® there was a grand rush to take advantage of the bargains offered at lauriet's
5c.
counter. Its ex-
traoidinur i-uces-* was earned solely because the very best go.jds made were sold for the least, money. Some persons were under the erroneous iinpress'on that the counter was designed only for holiday toy 8, which is far from the case. In fa^t there are no toys on it. The articles are of the best make, and the most useful in any household, Thousands have visited the store. «n the corner of Fifth and Main streets, and received from the 5c. counter twice the worth of their money. It is 1 astonishing, but true, that almost a basket full of useful and pretty articles can be purchased there for fifteen jpr twenty cents. 1
In successfully carrying out this plan, Mr Jauriet has'met with many obstacles.^:, In the first place, the demand for the goods was too great, and the snow block ade between Buffalo and New York prevented many articles re-ordered from coming through on time, some being fifteen days on the road.
Yesterday, how ever, twenty cases were opened, and all is new ready for those r, who have been patiently waiting for their goods to arrive. The 5c. counter is a remarkably successful institution.
