JUDGE ALLEN, of Illinois, who has been appointed successor to Judge Treat, deceased, on the bench of the Federal District Court for the BO cithern district ©f Illinois, was a contemporary end law partner of John A. Logan when they began their careers. No firm was more. widely or favorably known than that of Allen & Logan. It did not last long, however, for Allen was soon eleoted Judge and Logan Congressman. When Logan joined the army Allen was elected to succeed him in Congress.
ELECTRIC LIGHTS AND ANIMALS. Residents of the City of Mexibd have lately been treated to a novel spectaole in a bull-fight at night in an arena illuminated by electric lights. One of the queer features of the show was the effect the electric lights had on the bulls. It seemed to make them furious and as each successive blast was brought into the area he was wild with rage and made it unpleasantly lively for the matadors, picadors and horses. Five bulls were finally slaughtered but before this bloody task was accomplished, two matadors were nearly killed, several picadors disabled, four horses killed and several crippled. For five bulls this is an unusually long list of casualties.
Hope for the continued or rather renewed popularity of the Bport is to be found in this fight. Hitherto the bull fights have been rather tame and spiritless affairs with no danger about them and no blood spilled except that of the bulls. Truth to tell, the strain of fighting Andulusian bulls has been degenerating. Great efforts of late have had to be made to punch up the animals and make them run around the ring so that they would at least be in motion when struck. Mexican ladies and children thirsting for a sight of gore have frequently of late gone to slaughter houses in preference to the bull fights. All this has tended to discourage the sport and bring it into disrepute. But this disoovery of the enraging qualities of the electric light on bulla will infuse new life into the sport, Any old scrub of a stump-tailed bull will answer the purpose. If he shows a disposition to sulk or go sleep or fall down turn on the eleotric light and let him gore the tinsled fighters amid the plaudits of fair ladies and brave men. This recent fight was attended by Senor Diaz, President of Mexico, and just now a candidate for reelection. He seemed to enjoy the spectaole very muoh.
Stripped of ephemeral incidents a great zoologico-soientific faot looms above the palings »f this Mexican bull pea. This fact is that the eleotric light quickeos the specialized faculties of Mexican bulls. May we not leap to the broad generalization that it quickens the specialized qaalities of all animals? liet us see. These Mexican bulls were trained for fighting. They were bred with that end and purpose in view Speoial attention was given to the de velopment in them of a morose, sullen, quarrelsome and vicious disposition Every gentle, playful, tender and unselfish trait of character was discouraged. Brought under the electric light the real cahracter of a bull exhibited itself in intensified action, just as the ontline of liia form was made more manifest to
the beholder by the fierce light. A really gentle and gook-natured bull, one overflowing with the milk of kindness, if this is not an Irish bull, would under similar circumstances, have shown himself a polite and gentlemanly bull quite averse to goring matadors and picadors and pawing poor horses into purple pulp.
Suppose the general principle just laid down be applied here at home. If the dominating characteristics of Mexican bulls are brought out by the eleotrio ligrht is not the same thing true of the Terre Haute highway cow? Does not the eleotrio light develop her abnormal qualities of cussidness? Does she not display a more depraved and famine breeding appetite for shrubbery during the nights when the electric lights are burning than when they are not? Let this point be observed by a joint committee of butchers and gas stockholders. Evidently some great truths lie hidden just ahead. Forward.
THE GENERAL RESULT.
A Mixed Ticket Elected by Various Majorities. The city election yesterday showed to what extent the independent voter can use his pencil when it comes to an election for home offices. The result is that the Democratic candidates for Mayor and City Treasurer and the Republican candidate for City Clerk, City Marshal and City Assessor are elected.
Taking the result on City Treasurer on one hand and City Marshal on the ot^pr, the extremes on both sides, and it will be seen that thare was a change of about fifteen hundred votes—an extent ID the "scratcher" movement in Terre Haute that has probably never been reached before. Scratching was the order of the day, and scratching is healthy and invigorating.
The following is a brief summary of the result: For mayor, Jacob Kolsem, Democrat, 290 majority for treasurer, James Fitzpatrick, D., 1,150 for olerk, Alonzo Duddleston, Republican, 279 for marshal, Andrew J. Thompson, R., 382 and for assesser James W. Haley, R., 102. The Democrats elect three councilmen, and the Republicans three, making the next council Republican.

Such citizen shall file information before some Justice of the Peace in Harrison township against said Supervisor for such failure to impound such stock.
Resolved, That the thanks of this meeting be tendered to the Board of Commissioners of Vigo county for allawing no stock to run at large in this county.
Resolved, That we make arrangments as soon as possible to secure three places for impounding stock, one north, one south and one east near the border of the township.
On motion the meeting adjourned to meet at this place next Saturday the 7th of May at 1 o'clock P. M., add that the citizens of all the townships of the county be negotiated to meet with us at that time.

Mrs. Dr. Long, of Indianapolis, is in the city seeking a desirable house, as they think of removing to this place.
Dr. Barker the Oculist and Auiist. As seen by his card below this celebrated specialist will visit Terre Haute. It is a well recognized fact that he is not a traveling doctor of the ''cure all" class but a specialist in. the highest order of scientific attainments, placing before a scrutinizing public, his claims for his new method of treatment, superior skill, and unparalled supply of optical appliances. The encomiums heaped upon him by both the press and pub-' lio are -sufficient evidence of his rare ability and abundant proof that he is a benefactor to those who have any affections of the eye, ear, nose or throatT needing spectaoleiB or artificial eyes. Thd Indianapolis Journal says of him:
Can He Be Induced become a Permanent Resident of Indianapolis? It is a matter for general regret t&at| the departure of ]3r. A. B. Barker whose sojourn in this oity has bees fruitful of such wondrous Tesults in the cure of eye aud ear affections, should be so near at hand. It was hoped that this celebrated scientific gentleman, might be induced to take up his permanent residence at the capital. It seems eminently proper that this city should have among its professional men one who^eems so well qualified for the position attained by him. The* rooms of Dr. Barker, now daily thronged with visitors, is an excellent criterion from which to judge of the skill of this gentleman as a scientific oculist and aurist. But the hundreds of affiioted ones cured by him and who have failed to find relief from other physicians, s(.eak in letters of living1 light in his praise. If an effort were made among our citizens, there is hop* that our city might number among its denizens one so eminent id his pro-*-fession. Let the effort be made.
