9 The Enquirer was only few weeks
ago alluding very disparagingly to those edi-
tors who published advertisements Of Gift
Lotteries, &c. 1t is nop publishing the ad.
vertisement of one of the greatest humbugs
of the whole tribe of Lotteries. and appa-
rently sees no harm whatsoever in doing
precisely what it condemned so strenuously
short time since. We thought at the time
its suddenly assumed morality would no,
stand before the glitter of an almighty dol
lar" offered for the insertion Of just one oil
these kind Of Lottery or Gift advertisements.

We learn by a gentleman Just from re-
tersburgh, that last Friday afternoon the wife
of Mr.. Thos. Mead met with horrible &C.
cident which resulted in her death. About
4 O'Clock she was sitting near the fire with
child in her lap, when her clothes caught
fire. the flames at once flashing into her face.
She threw down the child and ran out Of the
house. A boy caught her and tore of her
clothes, bat the upper part Of her body was
burned to a crisp. She lived in excfuciating
agony till IL O'Clock at night, when death
relieved her from her horrible sufferings.-
Had she had the presence Of mind to plunge
in the canal near by, she might have been
saved, probably.

DON'T RUN IN DEBT.

DoST run In debt: never mind. never mind,
Ii thy clothes are fadedsand torn:
Fix 'em up, make them do; IL is better BY far,
Than TO have the heart weary and worn.
Who'll love you the more for the set ofy hat,
Or your run, or the tie of your shoe,
The shape ofyour vest, your boots or cravat,
Hthey know you're in debt for the new7
There'sno comfort tell you in walking the street
In hne clothes, IL YOU know your in debt,
Andfselthat perchance YOU some trade may meet
who will sneer-''they're not paid Tor yet"
Good friends, let me beg Of you don't run in debt;
If the chairs and the sofas are old,
They will fit your back better than any new set,
Unless thesesre paid for with gold
1.-THE house is too small. draw the closer together
Keep IL warm with hearty good will;
big one unpaid for, in all kinds of weather
Will send to your warm heart chill.
Don't run In debt; now dear girls take a hint:
1.-THE fashions have changed since last season.
Old Nature Is out In the very same tint.
Andol Nature, We think has some reason.
Just say to your friends that you cannot afford
To spend time to keep up with the fashion;
That purse too light and your honor too bHyh
To be tranished with such silly passion.
Gents, don't run In debit let your friends il they can
Have fine houses. fine feathers and flowers,
But unless they arc paid for, be more of man
Than to envy their sunshiny hours.
syou've money 70 spare have nothing to say:
Spend your dollars and dimes as you please;
But mind YOU the man who his note has 70 paw
IL the man who Is never at case.
Hind husband, don't run in debt any more:
Twill ill your wife's cup full Of sorrow,
To know that neighbor may call at your door,
With bill you must pay tomorrow.
oh, take my advice; II is good, il is true,
But, lest you may some Of you doubt IT,

The chain ofs debtor Is heavy and cold.
Its INKS all corrosion aud rust;
Gid ico'era as you will, it is never Of gold.
Then sPufn it aside with disgust.
The man who's in debt is too often slave,
Though his heart may be honest and true;
Can he hold up his head, and look saucy and brave
When q notshe can't pay becomes due7

The Pierce organ at Washington, and all
gifts echoes throughout the United States,
are now waging the fercest, the most des;
perate, the most relentless, and the m ost I'M
scrupulous war upon the new American par
~, that was ever witnessed in the political
history OF the world. And yet this same
Washington Union, not longer ago than u
few short months, connived at, coquetted
with. absolutely courted the Know Nothings,
in the following unequivocal and significant
language:
ain taking its position il should be care
fully borne in mind that the Democratic par
" neither assumes that the naturalization
laws, as they now exist, are perfect, nor that
foreigners have not, on some occasions, sub.
jected themselves to just censures, nor that
the Roman Catholic religion is based upon
the true Christian creed. Citizenship is q
boon granted to foreigners by the liberality
of our institutions, and this fact cannot be
too carefully weighed and appreciated by our
foreign citizens. They should constantly
remember that the high privileges conceded
to them have been granted upon the expecta.
ton that they would surrender their distinc'
tive native nationalities, and become fused
and assmilated to our native citizens in al

our liberal institutions. 1t becomes then
now, in view of the late significant expires
sion Of popular feeling, to consider vel
whether in their past conduct they may no
have given occasion for much of the oppOsi
ton which exists against them. Native
Americans are justly proud Of their high pre-
negatives, and they are naturally jealous o
anything like foreign influence upon their in
stitutions. In these sentiments and feeling
we participate to the fullest extent, and it il
because we do that we so earnestly repe

THE EYE AND EAR.-Dr. ]. L. Lewis, who
has become widely and we believe justly
celebrated. as one of the most skillful and
successful Oculists and Aurists Of the present
day, will leave our city for the East, in few
days. We learn that he has had unparalleled
success in every instance, in his practice in
this city and vicinity. His exclusive devo.
ton to those two branches of the medical
profession, with an extensive practice Of
several years, in the most complicated dis
eases, has offered liberal opportunity 10 test
satisfactorily, the various remedies employed
in every type Of disease to which the Eye and
Ear are subject. The principles of his treat
ment especially of the eye, will be discovered
at the slightest explanation to be Of the mildesl
and safest character. The Doctors motto is
"no cure no pay" except in cases where ad.
vice only is desired. We commend the Doc.
tor to the attention Of the afflicted wherever
he may 60.

0H Tobacco can be taken from Evansville
to New York, by way of the Wabash and
Erie Canal, at less price than by steam
boat and ship. At least we know the prices
are less by the canal now than they were
last season the other way, and we presume
less even at this time of favorable naviga-
ton by river. or course there is almost a
total saving of insurance by the canal route.
These facts deserve the consideration OF
those in this region who ship largely to New
York the staple production.

BURNING IN ErrIGY.-The Vincennes Ga.
zette says that the German citizens of Du-
bois county are terribly angry at Governor
Wright for approving the Prohibitory Law,
and at Senator Hawthorne for having voted
for it. In order to exhibit their anger in
some impressive form, meeting was called,
at which Ben. Edmonson, alias the "Red
Rover" presided anu made speech denun-
ciatory Of both the officials above named.
The demonstr alton was concluded with an
appropriate ceremony-the Governor and
Mr.. Hawthorne were burned in effgy. The
Gazette thinks sit was happy hit that Ed
monson presided over such meeting"

OF We understand three men were SEN
fenced to penitentiary, this week, at Vim
cennes, at the circuit court in session there
all for harse stealing. One of the fellows,
a very young man, exclaimed to friend
when he received hissentence:
"By -, John, didn't make very
easy ESCAPED"
Considering he was convicted on two in
dctments, and sentenced five years on each,
we think his escape was not very remarka-
BILE for its easiness.

Some IL or IA years ago. German gen.
tleman named Kock, announced the discovery
in Alabama, we believe, of some wonderful
fossil remains, supposed to be the bones of
one of the monsters of an ancient geological
epoch. With extraordinary perseverance,
and devotion to science, he excavated the
ground for some acres in extent, and finally
succeeded in securing the whole skeleton.
In due time the bones were carefully wired
together, hall secured for it's exhibition in
New York, and the public invited 10 behold
the wonderful curiosity. Judging by the
bones, the creature must have beer a regular
old saurian, some SO or 70 feet in length,
with jaws of frightful capacity, which being
propped wide open, and facing the entrance
to the hall, struck the visitor With a proper
awe for the wonders of creative power. The
st. Louis Mirror Of the I'd March, gives the
following additional particulars in relation to
the specimen in question:
Yesterday Albert Kock, the person who
sold the Zeuglodon to DR.. Mcdowell, and to
whom the DR.. had made some payments on
account, had writ Of replevin issued anu
served on the Zeuglodon, which stood in the
learned Dr.'s museum, surround ed by its COM
panion curosities, and little suspecting that
an officer of the law was about to make
something more serious than an anaiomica al
demonstration against it. The sheriff, how
ever, ordered his assistants tc shoulder the
august fossils scapu!a and clavicles, to take
the vertebra on their backs, and the legs in
their arms, and dispose of them as required
by the Goth and Vandal terms of the writ,
which had eviden tly been issued without any
regard to physical science. On their way
with what one of them called the contingent
remainder" one Of the vertebra fell to the
ground, and disclosed to the eyes Of the as
tonished bystanders, that the bone was all
''gammon." This led to closer examina-
ton of the skeleton, when it was ascer,ained
by strict chemical analysis, that oil the
bones were composed Of wha! is now known
in trade as plaster of Paris, thereby proving
clearly that the bones OF animals, at the pc
Rod When the Zeuglodon lived, were COM
posed Of that useful material, and not of the
constituents forming the bones ofanimals of
the resent day.
1t is difficult to say whether Kock or Nc.
Dowell is to be gamer by this development.

In an article few days since, upon the
subject Of our approaching charter election,
we endeavored to invite public attention to
the especial Importance of this election over
any that have preceded it. The election is
now Near at hand, when the people will De
called upon to record their sufffages, and de-
termine thereby to whose hands the destinles
of our city are to be entrusted for the ensu-
ing year.
Every reader of the Journal will agree
with us, that there has hitherto been too
much apathy and Indifference manifested, BY
those who should interest themselves most
In the affairs of our city government. The
rapid advancement of Evansville for the last
few years, in everything which pertains to
the elements of prosperity, wealth and posi-.
ton, among the young cities Of the West,
has brought us to point when negligence
and Indifference in our municipal affairs can
not be permitted without serious detriment.-
Negligence now, portends nothing but decay
and retrogradation. Progress and reform
have ever been our watchwords, and let them
sull be our principles.
We have no fault to find with our past histo-
~. We have only to congratulate ourselves
that under past city legislation, we have ex-
perienced growth without parallel in the
history of our sister cities in Indiana. Not.
withstanding our present enviable attain
ments, the present age demands higher de-
gree of excellence and perfection liz our So
cial, moral and commercial policy. The
great questions of education, public i'm
provements, manufactures, temperance and
innumerable other interests of more local
character, in all of which every citizen is
deeply interested, present stronger claims
now upon the magnanimity of our people
than ever before. These claims can only
be met through well constituted city gov
eminent. This government can only be Sc.
cured by the selection of officers whose ca.
pacity and honesty of principle render them
adequate to the labor we call them to under.
take.
We know that large majority of our cit
liens are truly and sincerely anxious to see
the dignity of Evansville sustained by the
selection of good men. true men, and capable
men to fill every Office in their gilt. Then
let no personal prejudices or party jealous
les deter them from united and earnest action
for the accomplishment of so worthy Pur.
pose. Let no ambitious aspirant imPor.une'
ly foist himself upon you for support, whose
qualifications are not equal to The duties oil
the station he aspires to ill. Rather spurn
such an individual as belonging to that class
whose impudence is their paramount claim
to public favor.
We hope that SECTIONAL issues and loca
feuds may be buried beneath the general de
sire to promote the public good. 1t is
grand privilege entrusted to the people, tina
enables them to select the men of thei
choice to hold responsible positions in tn
administrative power; and a careful dispose
of that choice is expected of every goo
citizen at the ensuing election.

The Poole AFFAIR.-The measures taken
by the authorities for the arrest OF Baker, the
murderer of Poole, and his accompli Ices, are
engrossing much Of public attention. The
Investigations by the police court, in New
York, have been OF the most searching char.
acter, and quite number of lawiess villains,
of the Morrissey bully school, have already
found safe quarters in the Tombs. Although
there has been a very extraordinary effor,
made in this case, to ferret out and secure
the arrest of the Observation-Disclosures well
as those found to be accessories, either be.
fore or after the fact, we think none toe
much has yet been done. Some argue thai
Bill Poole was nothing but bully himself
and therefore his death is no loss. But biz
worth is not now the question. 1t is the Of
Tended end outraged law which is TO b.
avenged, and more deliberate, cold. blooded
Gendish violation thereof has not yet fount
a record in our criminal code. The whole
country owes it to itself, and to the protec-
ton of life and property, to aid in the de-
lection and punishment of all such demons
as Baker and his confederates.
