TOMBS,
'Still Accounting For the Waterloo Defeat.
trh.e City Council Next To Bo Decapitated.—Minor Mention.'
VINCENNES, Nov. 13—| GAZETTE speoial]—Our Democrats are still wondering how it happened. They thought that the majority on the local ticket would be reduced, but little dreamed of the fact that all of the boys would be laid out—that some of them would pull through. Any one familiar with the •political workings in Knox county for the past few years are not much surprised at the defeat, but were not quite ready to admit that th&y are glad that all the ticket was routed. Some of it deserved defeat.
The stone foundation of the new City Hall, which rises some five feet above the street, has been laid by until next season.
Since the last letter from this city another old French citizen, a native of the Old Post, Ebar Soudrillette, has passed away, and there ore but few left of the earlier history of Vincennes. The racs is becoming extinct by intermarrying.
Miss Pem Smith, sister of Messrs. G. Foster and Charles Smith, of Terre Haute, writes to her brothers in this city, from Dresden, the most picturesque city in Germany, under date of Oct. 23d. It is probable that her party. Miss Bathbone and Miss Massey, will sojourn in Italy or southern France all winter.
A gray wolf, as large as a good-sized dog, was killed by Wm. McAndrew, a oouple of miles south of this city, in Illinois, this week. A number of these animals have bean slain in the same, neighborhood within the past few years
Mr. A. W. Heinley and wife, formerly of Terre Haute, but now of Danville, 111., where Mr. H. is running a hotel, are visiting Mrs. Heinley's relatives in this city.
The next political move by the taxpayers of this place will be to change the complexion of the city council, and some fellows who have a hankering for the Treasurer's portfolio are now in an Unsettled state of mind.
The official axe on the Ohio and Mississippi railroad has again been swung —this time two of the oldest employes on the line having t»een "removed."
The councilmanic committee sent here from Attica, Ind., to inspect the Vincennes electric light, have recommended the adoption of the same for that place.
An official bulletin has been posted announcing the resignation of W. W. Pea body as President of the Ohio & Mississippi railroad, to the gratification of Vincennes people generally.
There has been this year a surfeit of traveling shows in this city, and the wonder is, how do so many people mapage to attend nearly every entertainment, and dress so nicely, besides.
Many Knox county Democrats thought it best for the party that it should be purified—stand a defeat and come out clean handed for the grand affra 1888.
Col. Thomas H. Nelson will lecture berore the Clay county Teachers' association at Brazil on the evening of Fri day, November 26th, the day after Thanksgiving.
M. Dt MUNKACSY.
Visiting Ihe United States, Painter of This Great Picture. M. de Munkacsy will be received while in the United States wilh the honor due to one of the greatest artists of the age. His masterpiece, 'Christ Before Pilate," than which no picture is oftener mentioned at the present time, is scarcely a greater production than his "Milton Dictating Paradise Lost," which is the chief attraction in the picture gallery at the Lenox Library, New York. The artist is forty years old, more or ?ess. He is a German, born at Munich. Not before he was nearly thirty years of age was early promise verified in de Munkacsy's performances. Before then his application had been fitful and incommensurate with the superior genius early recognized in him. During the past ten years or so, however, the artist has applied himself to his work with diligence, and his is now among the leading names in the list- of great contemporary painters. The two works which made him renowned, "Night Prowlers" and "Last Nights of the Condemned," represented a morbid condition of feeling allied with extraordinary strength of conception and treatment. Healthful freedom and the originality of a master characterize his Milton, of. which mention is made above. The Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria, knighted M. de Munkacsy in recognition of the great genius dismayed in "Christ Before Pilate."

HALT. WALKER,
Tli Only Child Born in the Executive Mansion at Washington. The only person who carries with him the distinction of having been born at the White House, is now a man in his forty-second year. Certain mysterious gossip which, begiuning at Washington, is finding its way everywhere, makes reference to the White House Jaby of long ago,, an opportune subject. As, so the ladies say, the chief claim of this person to biographical and pictorial distinction will soon pass away, we hasten to present his portrait ond give the readers a brief account of his career.
When James K. Polk was President of the United States, J. Knox Walker, his nephew, acted as his private secretary and resided, with his family, in the first bouse of the land. There, on September 18,1845, was born Hal T. Walker. Kis father was a Tennesseean of some distinction as a local politician, and when the war of the Union broke out fought on the Confederate side.
When sixteen years old the child of the White House also entered the ranks of those fighting for disunion. He was ajde-de-camp to General Preston Smith until the death of that officer, who was killed in battle. From then until the end of the war he was on the staff of General Frank O. Armstrong, his bro-ther-in-law.
On the collapse of the Confederacy Mr. Walker went to Memphis, Tenn., where he was in business about a year. In 1866 he removed to Montgomery, Ala. The same year he also married, was admitted to the bar, and began the practice of law.
Mr. Walker still resides at Montgomery, where he is a man of considerable property and influence. In the year 1880 he was elected to represent Montgomery county in the General Assembly of the State of Alabama. His political activity in that year was unus his attention, as a normal thing, bua® engrossed in professional work. ein

We wish to correct the statement made in last Saturday's special to the GAZETTE from this place. The Democrats elected Thoft Catlin for auditor by eleven majority and are therefore very jubilant. The special of last Saturday stated that the Republicans elected all the county officers and we are glad to correct it. Now the Republicans are asking1for a re-count (that is' a few of them—those interested in the county printing especially) hoping that enough stickers for Catlin may have fallen off to elect Mr. Johns, their candidate.
