A DEMOCRATIC caucus of Senators has been called for next Saturday.

THE Assistant Postmaster General has issued an order with the intent to pre vent the spread of small pox by mail.

TirK daily reports of supervising inspectors has been ordered discontinued by secretary Folger from December 16th to April 1st to give those officers an opportunity to make

an

annual report.

of Cyrus W. Field,

took possession of the office of the New York JGvening Express on Saturday. For 4he paper, which is a member of the Associated Press, Mr. Field paid in the neighborhood of $200,000, the whole value of the concern being the press franchise, which was bought cheap at the price Mr. Field gave for it.

His Accitlcnc.y, President Arthur, it is stated, will not give copies of his annual message to the press in advance of its delivery to Congress. It will take the usual course of such documents and be acnt to the papers over the wires by the Associated Press. When it is considered that disreputable papers haye in nearly •every instance stolen this document and printed it before delivery, this way of giving it to the public will be approved.

EIGHT suits have been entered in the United States Circuit Court, at St. Louis, against as many milling firms in that «city, by Lemuel W. Bignall, of Syracuse,

New York, for alleged infringement of Denchfield's patent for cooling and drying meal. Millers throughout the whole country are interested in these suits, as all of them are using processes similar to this, and the St. Louis suits are test cases.

No distinguished tran is worth a cent these times unless he has a crank in attendance with a pistol. A g«od, firstclass crank must be both tough and careful—tough not to succumb to the maulings of the police and the mob after he has fired his shot, and careful not to let a bullet get into the pistol by mistake. •Cranks with the above qualifications can obtain a permanent and lucrative position by making application to any ambitious and rising young statesman.

THE Mormon missionaries abroad are subject to persecutions in Europe, the game as many Christian missionaries have been among the barbarous nations. So it appears from the following item,which we find in an Easter journal:

Th«re is considerable satisfaction, even if reason and conscience do not approve it, in hearing that a couple of Mormon "missionaries, who have been engaged in the nasty business of making converts in

Hackney, England, were recently pelted with rotten eggs, and eventually driven out of the place by an indignant crowd who had been listening to their harangues.

A CHICAGO paper says: "When the fast trains now operated between Chicago and New York arrive at the end of their run, each engineer steps around to the tront of his locomotive and brushes the dead birds trom the opiate over the 'cowcatcher.' Birds miscalculate as to the •speed of these trains, and attempt to fly across the track immediately in front of the engines. They are struck by the smoke-stack or the head light, and fall dead upon the plate at the boiler head. Orders for quail should be sent to the engineers bvpostalcard/^^^^^

To the following from the editorials of the Cincinnati Commercial concerning the Guiteau trial at Washington the GAZETTE can and does say Amen:

The statement that Judge Cox, of the Criminal Circus, can not stop the horrible farce that is going on under his nose, is an accusation of imbecility.

If Cox can not preserve order, decency and dignity in his court, he should be taken out, tarred and feathered and ridden on a rail.

He is a pretty Judge to be sitting in authority and allowing the snarling miscreant, with two breakfasts in him, who murdered President Garfield, to blab his •blackguardismj^^

fGLBSOIf'S BAIL.

"9&\ne ifiitor of the Gazette:

How is it and why is it that Gibson under indictment for murder and now on trial for that offense is allowed to be at large? Why is he not in jail? Is murder bailable?

WflWK r. -J ITIZEN.

[Section XVII Article 1 of the constitution of Indiana, called the Bill of Kegrets, says: "Offenses, other than murder or treason, shall be bailable by sufficient sureties. Murder or treason shall not be bailable, when proof is evident, or the presumption strong." Judge XiOug admitted the prisoner to bail in the sum of $5,00© on his opinion that the proof of murder in Gibson's case was not evident and that the presumption against him was not strong. This, as also the amount of bail that shall be requited, are JD alters of discretion left with|the Judge.

FfUNKLYN COTTAGE

I The following cut of Franklyn Cottage, at Elberon, where President Garfield breathed his last. an accurate picture of the place. It is the handiwork of a young Terre Hautesn skilled in the art. It is a little late to be printing this picture but the place ma come into prominence again. There is uo certainty but the droll idiots who are managing the Guiteau farce at Washington may be struck with a sense oftle ludicrou&nena of using it as the official residence of Mr Guiteau during the time be is «ounJing the heights and depths, the length and breadth of thei? almost measureless stupidity ard indecency. They may ask his permission to take up his residence there and urivc him some of the ghastly relics of the murdered President wherewith to assist in simulating insanity. In ttio mean lime it may occur to some crank of tin- Sergeant Mason or Bill Jones order to excrise some emotional ihsanity with a borne pistol on that prodigy of stupidity. Judge Cox. or the addle-pated Cork hi II, or that amazing idiot, mine h«ct of the jail, who has the guest of the court on exhilvti'-n in the coriidors of his hotel for the benefit of reporters and the pictorial artist* of illustrated papers:

Where Does Coal Oil Come from!

This is one of the questions that has long agitated the scientific world, atid upon the answer to it more depends than seems at first sight. If we know its source, we can fairly determine as to the nature and exfent of the supplies, and where to look for them.

The Scientific American has been discussing the subject. Some have thought that the oils have been produced by a slow distillation during the process of coal formation. A fatal objection, however, to this theory is found in the fact that Great Britain, has immense coal-beds, containing nothing of this kind, though supposed traces have been found here and there.

The Siberian and Devonian frocks, which contain the sources of the most of the oil-wells now in existence, havq great quantities of fossil remains, and this has suggested the theory that the oils have resulted from their decomposition.

Professor Mendeljeff thinks that, on the first formation of the earth, vast reservoirs of inorganic iron and carbon existed in the interior of the globe. These were reached by the water condensing on the newly-formed land percolating beneath its surface. The neat decomposed the water into its component parts, oxygen and hydrogen, the first forming with the iron, oxide of iron, the latter with the carbon, petroleum and other hydro-carbons. If this theory be the correct one, there still exists in the center of the earth reservoirs of petroleum that are to the sources as yet known as the ocean is to the. spring, whose waters finally find a resting-place in its bosom.

A Bright Boy.

An editor of an Illinois paper took a boy to learn the printer's trade. He was careful to impress upon his mind the necessity of obedience and of doing everything thoroughly. After peliminary instruction, the lad was given a stick and a rule? and was taken to a case to wrestle with apiece of copy.

The editor went off to a political convention. The other boys in the office paid but little attention to the new recruit, and when the editor returned half a day later, he found the boy down upon his knees, searching for something on the floor. "What's the matter, Johnny?" said he. "Why, I dropped a type before I got the first line set, replied the boy, "and you told me before I went to work, that whenever I dropped a type I must stop and pick it up before I did any thing else. I've neen looking for that darned type all day, and I can't find it"

Need we say that boy succeeded in business? He grew up, went west, and two weeks ago he was hanged in Nevada for horsestealing.

"How do you manage to make a liv» ing, anyhow?" asked one of the Sifters of Colonel Bill Snort "How do I live? Why, Hive by my brains, of course." "You do? Well all I've got to say is, you live on less than any man I ever met in my life,"

THE TERRE HAUTE WEEKLY GAZETTE

Too Much of A Good Thing. We have read at least one laughable story of a green cook undertaking to boil "swamp-seed" without knowing' how. Prentice Mulford (in the San Francisco Chronicle) tells another of himself, while doing culinary duty in a California sandbar camp, among the "Forty-niners:"

My experience taught me somethings not thought of before. Once, while housekeeping, I bought a sack of rice. I had no idea then of the elastic and durable properties of rice.

A sack looked small but rice swells amazingly. When I put the rice on to boil the first pot swelled up, forced ofl the lid and oozed over.

Then I shovelled rice by the big spoonful into everything empty which I could find in the cabin.

Still it swelled and oozed. Even the wash-basin was full of half-boiled rice. Still it kept on. I saw then that I had put in too much—far too much.

The next time I tried half the quantity. That swelled, boiled up, boiled over and also oozed. I never saw such a remarkable grain.

The third time I put far less to cook. Even then it arose and filled the pot The seeds looked minute and harmless enough before being soaked.

At last I became disgusted with rice. I looked at the sack. There was the merest excavation made in it by the quantity taken out. This alarmed me. With my gradually decreasing appetite for rice, I reflected and calculated that it would take seven years on that bar ere I could eat all the rice in that sack. I saw it in imagination all boiled at once and filling the entire cabin. This determined me. I shouldered the sack, tarried it back to the store and said,— "See herel I want you to exchange this cereal for something that won't swell so in the cooking. I want to exchange it for something which I can eat up in a reasonable length of time."

The storekeeper was an obliging man. He took it back. But the reputation, the sting of buying an entire sack of rice, remained. The "boys" had "spotted" the transaction. The merchant had told them of it. I was reminded cf that sack of rice years after.

Two Different Men.

The Boston Transcript thus utters thti respect which all decent people feel for "the man with the bundle"—and tbe deserved contempt for the other kind of man. The writer saw a pleasant-faced customer at a shop-counter, just closing bargain for a costly and beautiful writing-case. "To what address shall we pend this?" said the clerk, with a tone indicating extreme respect. "Nowhere," responded the purchaser "I always carry my own bundles." "Yes, sir but this is heavy, and it will be a pleasure for us to send it." "Young man," said the other, "I always love to take something home at night to show my wife and children that I haven't forgotten them while at my business, and 1 wouldn't give a piu to make anybody a present, unless I carried it into the house myself. I want to see 'em take it." "Yes, sir, but this is heavy." "No matter, I'm strong, and oht he went, with such aglow on his face that one could imagine it lighted up the now dim sidewalk rods ahead, as a locomotive reflector illuminates the track.

Another well-known street face passed him at the door coming in. Purchasing a Congress knife, the new-comer said in a sharp and dictatorial tone: "Send it to my house (No. fifteen hundred and something Washington Street), immediately I snail want it as soon as I get home." "Two different men," suggested we, as the clerk closed the door after him. "Very," was the reply. "The man with the bundle is Mr. the honest owner of hundreds of thousands, and there never was a subscription that didn't get his name for something handsome. The other man failed last week —all there was of him to fail—and isn't worth his salt but he had rather take the commercial disgrace of failure at any time than the social disgrace of being seen in the streets with a bundle."

Two different men indeed! We shall take off our hat the next time we meet Mr. on the sidewalk. Long may he live and carry bundles to [make people happy!

The Old Lady and the Trusp. Mrs. Deacon Grover, aged 60, was seated mending her son's stockings in the Town of Horseheads, New York, last week, when a tramp entered and asked for something to eat The old lady went to the cellar and when she came back her gold-rimmed spectacles were gone. She said to the tmmp: "You've got my specs." He denied it, and, quietly laying down the plate, she went to a bureau, took a revolver therefrom, pointed it at the tramp and told him if ne didn't lay those specs on the table she would shoot him where he stood, V:J '-n' ^'.

The tramp took the spectacles from his pocket and mildly laid them down. "Now," said she, "eat what I have brought for you and get out" He ate and departed. When her sou August# appeared the old lady, again taking the revolver from the bureau, said to him: "Augustus, how do you cock this weapon?" jraclflc Coast society. [San Francisco Post.} "Are you engaged?" said a gentleman to a young lady from Marysville at a ball the other evening. "I was, but if that Pete Johnson thinks Fm going to sit here and see him squeeze that freckled-face Wilkins girl's hand all the evening he'll be mistaken, solitaire or no solitaire."

The gentleman explained and went out to get air.

'.it' (Communicated.) ........

At his parents' residence on south First street, November 21st, died Marco Eldred, son of Hubert and Bettie Eldred, aged five years and sixteen days.

The little favorite Marco has gone home. He was the pride and joy of the household. In him were centered tbe fond affections of a father and mother who were very anxious to store his mind with useful knowledge, and started him to school while yet too young. He seemed to possess a mind beyond his childish years. By his little manly ways he seemed to gain the good will of his teacher Miss Wright, who is so kind and affectionate to all her little pupils. After returning from school he would say to his mother, "I like to go to school. I love my teacher she is such a good woman." May she live along and happy life and realize that these little ones trusted to her charge shall have grown to be men and women, an ornament to society and useful to their country. Last Saturday night little Marco was stricken with brain fever, and in his delirium would call for his teacher, and his little fingers were very busy writing his letters upon tbe wall. The last words he was heard to utter after placing his arms around his little brother's neck and kissing his pa and ma were: "I'm going away." He breathed his last on Monday night.

By his sparkling eyes and winning ways he drew around him many friends who will miss him sadly. His little playmates feel as though their dearest friend has left them. His kind teacher and her pupils, all of whom he loved so well, came and gathered around his little coflin and with tearful eyes gazed upon his pale and innocent face a last farewell look, when the coffin lid was closed and four of his little schoolmates bore him to the hearse. "Alas! My noble boy that thou should'st die Thou who wer't made so beautifully fair."

A little more than five bright summers have scarcely decked his flowery path, his voice which was once so musical is no longer heard at the gate to welcome his father as he returns from his daily toil his roseate cheek which was once so beautiful is now pale and cold those sparkling eyes, radiant with intelligence, are now closed. Good bye, Marco. It is hard to give thee up

A 6rim Error.

Perhaps the most wonderful thing in tittt age of human possibilities is for a man to live long enough to read his own obituary notice. To some it might, indeed, be pleasant, for then for the first time in their lives they would have something good said about them. Tradition tells us that Charles O'Uonor read a notice of his death in the newspapers, but he is living to day and building a cottage by the sea. We now have an instance nearer home. The Express of this morning, by some jugglery of misinformation furnished them, announced the death of Timothy Gilman, an esteemed citizen of this city, who has been very dangerously ill for three weeks past. But Mr. Gilman was not dead, though he may be at any minute. Doctor Young, one of his physicians says there are absolutely no hopes for his recovery and it is only a questson of a few days before he dies ot softening of the brain. He has been unconscious for sometime past.

Graveyard Insurance is Ohio FixDiiAY, Ohio, Nov. 29.—An iniquitous speculation in human life has been unearthed by the trustees of the Hancock County Infirmary. Several prominent men of this city have been securing insurance on the lives of paupers for the benefit of themselves. One old man was induced to sign the application by the statement that it was a call for a political

The work in this portion of the engraving is more perfect and beautiful than we had supposed could ever be executed.

There is a very large number of figures in tbe work, and all are depicted with life-like faithfulness It stands to-day unquestionably

The Finest and Most Valuable En0. graving in the World-

The engraving of the plate cost upward ot $30,010, ana no copies from it are sold at a less price than $30, which, with duties and shipping added, brings the cost to American purchasers to about $40 per copy.

This first work "Christ Leaving the Prsetoruim," will be used as an introductory advertisement, and a limited number will be furnished ...

Free To All Applicants.

It is a correct reproduction of tbe Engglish plate, which sells at $30 per copy, many of which have been purchased by a number of Americans at that price who subscribed for it through the English house.

The engraving (which is a very large one) will be pu* up in heavy tube, ana sent by mail. The only charge will be the cost of tubing and postage, which will be ten three cent stamps. It was at first thought twenty cents would be sufficient for this charge, but from frequent breaking of the tubes in the mail bags it was decided to increase the thickness and strength of the tubes (thus making them heavier) so that they could not be broken except in case of an accident. This necessitated an increase of charges this purpose to 30 cents or 10 three cent stamps.

is alsolutely impossible

to secure a copy at a less price, except through tne offer. The engraving represents the Savior as he is leaving the Praetorium, after being condemned to crucifixion. He is descending the steps leading from the judgment court. At the foot of the steps stands two burly executioners, in charge of the cross which the Savior is to bear. On the right are the followers and believers of Christ, with despair in their every look, while the mother of our Lord is an agonized and fainting attendant. In the rear and on the left are the judges and scoffers, surrounded Poatius Pilate, who are looking with fierce complacency on their work. The central figure is that of Christ, as he uncomplainingly descends the steps to take up the cross and beat it to the scene of his crucifixion.
