DOMESTIC HABTs.-The accomplished
lady Mary Wortley Montague, who figured
in the fashionable as well as the literary
circles Of her time, has said that "the most
minute details Of household economy be-
comes elegant and refined when they are
ennobled by sentiment" and they are truly
ennobled when we attend to them either
from sense Of duty, or consideration for
a parent, or love to a husband. ITO fur
nish room," continues this lady, is no
commonplace affair, shared with upholster,
ers and cabinetmakcrs; it is decorating the
place where am to meet friend or lover.
To order dinner is not merely arranging a
meal with my cook; it is preparing refresh
ments for him love. These necessary oc.
equations, viewed in this light by person
capable of strong attachments, are so many
pleasures, and afford her far more delight
than the games and shows which constitute
the amusements Of the world"

MODERN CHURCH Massachusetts,
communicates to the Detroit Advertiser
some of his experience in New York. Hay-
ing exhausted the amusements of the thea
tre the opera, the museum, and the concerts,
he tried the church. The following is his
account of the music:
Pretty soon c-organ-sometime
grand and solemn, but generally fast and
lively enough for country dance. B. D..
said the player got a big salary to show off
the organ and draw big house. He COM
menced to play the Old Hundred. At first
majestic as it should be, but soon his left
hand began to get unruly among the base
notes, then the right cut up few monkey
shines in the treble; left threw in large
assortment Of quavers; right led off with a
grand flourish and few dozen variations;
left struggled mournfully to keep up but
sooa gave out dead beat, and after that went
back to first principles, and hammered away
|religiously at Old Hundred in spite Of the
antics of its fellow; light struck up march
marched into quick-step-quick-step in
to a gallop; left still at Old Hundred right
put in all sorts of fantastic extras, to entice
the left from its sense of propriety; left still
unmoved; right put in few bars of pop
ular waltz; left wavers little; right strikes
up a fayorite polka; left evidently yielding;
right dashes into a jig; left now fairly de-
serts its colors and goes over to the enemy,
and both commence an animated hornpipc
leaving poor Old Hundred to take care of
itself. At length with crash, squeak,
a rush, roar, a rumble, and an expiring
groan the overture concluded and service
began.
At length, with another variette upon the
organ, and all the concentrated praise and
thanksgiving Of the congregation, sung by
four people, the service concluded. l
thought from the manner Of the last perform
ance each member Of the choir imagined the
songs of praise would never get to heaven
if he didn't give them personal boost in
the shape of an extra yell.

"I love to Steal"

An amusing incident occurred in one Of
our down-east churches, some years ago.
The clergyman gave out, on pleasant Sab.
bath afternoon in July
II love to steal a while away
From every cumb'ring care,
And spend the hour Of settiug day
In humble, grateful prayer"
The regular chorister being absent the
duty devolvcd upon the good old deacon NJ.
who commenced
~ love to steal--!"
and then backed down. Raising his voice
to still higher pitch, he sung
al love to steal--!,
but, as before, he concluded that he had got
the wrong pitch; SO deploring that he had
not his pitch tuner" he determined to sue
coed, if he died in the attempt.
By this time, all the old ladies were tit
tering behind their fans, while the faces Of
the young 'uns were all in broad grim
At length, after desperate cough, he made
a final demonstration, and roared out
~ love to steal--!'
This effort was too much. While every
one but the cody, and excentric parson
was laughing, he arose and with the utmost
GOODNESS, said
Seeing our brothers propensities, let US
pray!"
1t is needless to say that few Of that con-
gregation heard that prayer.

PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
The Public School Building.

One of the most notable improvements which
have marked the growth Of progress of Evans
vile this season, is the large public School
House, now just completing for the use of the
Common Schools. This building is the largest
and most complete public school edifce in the
State, and the building of it by our city,
affords evidence that the public mind has
awakened to true appreciation of the impor-
lance of education. Our first efforts at the
establishment of a proper Public School sys-
tenn in this city, were greatly retarded by the
want of school houses. The cause of educa-
ton in our midst has suffered materially, and
the efforts to advance and elevate this cause
have been met by formidable obstacles, frora
this deficiency. But we have at last obtained
an edifce, admirably adapted to our present
wants.
This building is situated in the upper part
of the city, in block bounded by Canal, Null
berry, Third and Fourth streets. 1t presents
a substantial and handsome appearance, and
Mt once arrests the attention Of the stranger.
1t is 70 feet long and So feet wide, exclusive
of the towers, which front on Canal street, and
are 10 feet square, running up 10 feet higher
than the building. The first floors of these tow
ers form the entrances. The second and third
stories are rooms for the Library, Philosophical
AID Chemical Apparatus, &c. In the top Of
one tower will hang the bell, and the other
will form kind of observatory for the present.
The main building is three stories high and
building and towers of brick. The rooms on
the first floor are II feet high, on the second
IL feet, and on the third, IA feet, in the clear.
The whole building is divided into two separate
parts, making indeed two buildings of it--one

PEcUNEARY PRoFITs OF AUTHORSHIP IN THE
UNITED STATEs.-A statement Of the income
of successful authors in this country from the
sales of their books correctly returned, would
form an interesting chapter of literary statis-
tics. Referring to this subject the American
Publishers Circular, says:
We were casually informed by a Boston
publisher (Mr. Little, of Little, Brown & Co, }
that their house could show receipts for money
paid for copyrights to the amount of half a
million Of dollars, of which one hundred thou
sand was paid to single family which still re-
tsins the copyrights Many other publishing
houses can quote similar documents. and they
would be of considerable interest to those who
have commended that genius, with us, is left to
struggle and lsnguish without recompense

EFFECTS OF THE REVOLUTION IN MEXICO
The correspondent of the New Orleans Delta
in its issue of the 9Th, writes from the liberat-
ing army, near Matamoras, under date of the
18th ult., as follows:
After all, the benefits received by the peo-
pie will almost recompense them for what they
suffered during Santa Annals most cruel des-
potis1n, and after the formal organization Of
the first Congress, an effort will be made to
declare him traitor to the country; and his
memory infamous after hisadeath. The Leg
islature of Tamaulipas will favor the assassin

Fire in Bloomington. lis.

BLOOMINGTON, Oct II.
About 8 o'clock last night fire broke out
in the Livery Stable attached to the Morgan
House, situated on the South side of the Pub
lie Square, and spread North and South, en-
tirely destroying all the buildings in the block,
except the Mclean County Bank and Dietrich
& Bradner's hardware store. Loss to the
Morgan House $4,000 Central Illinois
Times printing Office entirely destroyed loss
$500
Paragraph printing Office partly saved,
though in damaged condition. Loss about
$4,000. In the stable of Morgan & Bender
seven horses were burned; one man reported
to have been burned. The fire ragged during
the greater part of the night, and much con-
fusion prevailed There were many persons
arrested by the police in the act of stealing
goods, and we understand twenty-five were
committed to jail.
One of the large chimneys of the Morgan
House fell with tremendous crash, buryins
beneath its ruins and instantly killing VIM
Green, q draymen of this place, and severely
injuring Saml Fleming, merchant, and Alex
Steele, constable, both of this city. Faint
hopes are entertained of their recovery. Total
loss estimated at over $4,000.

. A SMALL EDITORIAL BERRY.-One of the
smallest representatives of the berry family,
who seems to be mixture of the goose Berry
and black Berry, or as the darkey would say
"a berry black feller," and named Henry Ber-
ry, and we are sorry to say, an editor has been
making faces at the wife Of the editor of the
Brookville American. This Berry edits the
Democrat and finding his abuse of the editor
of the American would not call from him par
agraph, he then commenced abusing the wife
of the American editor. He, being preacher,
did not thrash this Berry, as he deserved, but
the lady comes out in a card and defends her.
SELF One horrible charge made against her
was, that she didn't let her hired girl sit down
to the table with the family! We think this
miserable Old Line editor should bury himself
from human observation after this. No hon.
est man would kick him, unless he put on a
new pair OF breeehes.

or We are gratifed that in this (Know
Nothing) victory, we are permitted to congratu-
late native born citizen of Evansville on at
tanning the highest Office in the gift of the
people of California; Evansville Jour.
And we are gratifed that in the election
just held in Indiana we are permitted to con-
graduate the editor of the Evansville Journal
on the native city of Mr.. J.. Nicely johnson,
Know Nothing Governor elect of "the Golden
State" having repudiated the political heresy
of Know Nothingism by an overwhelming
majority of the popular vote Lou Dem.
We cannot permit the Democrat to congrat-
ulate us on any such thing. The native city
has had no opportunity of repudiating Know
Nothingism lately. The last opportunity af
forded them for a trial of that was in the cleo
ton of Justice of the Peace. They nominal.

He was badly beaten At the late election, two
petty county officers were elected The
Americans had no ticket, nor did they as a
party sustain the Independent ticket run
The anti-Amcrican party even polled SOC
votes less than they did last year. So the
Democrat exhibits a very great degree o.
ignorance in reference to the native city" Of
the new California Governor.

By reference to the report of the Board Of

yesterday-ohly one of them from yellow fe-
YER and that one from the other side of the
river. Read the remarks of DR.. Tue, appen-
ded to the Sections list We heard of only
two new cases yesterday, and they of very
mild form. All the sick were improving last
evening. Mr. l. NJ Hill was reported to be
much better. We were glad to see Mr.. Hut

restored. Mr.. Smith, of this Office, was with
out change.

occurring though enough to admonish US that
the pestilence is not yet eradicated. The pau

persons now remaining who are unacclimated. y

lie Church at Yicksburg, died on the 18th inst.

The health of our city continues to improve
We hear but of few new cases of fever, and

talent, who follows to the grave, after an in

ch;eksn stsaiers abroad.

Yesterday morning party OF five OF our
citizens started in sail-boat and skiff, for the
Wabash region, on hunting expedition. The
party was composed of Tom. Stinson, Henry
Mitchell, Cy McCracken, McNett and Charley
Richards, the latter armed with his telegraph
climbers, to attack pecan trees. They intend
going to the Little Wabash and White River
countries, and will probabably be gone month.
They were abundantly supplied with provis-
ions, bedding, and camp fixtures generally, to
say nothing of guns, ammunition and dogs!
Yet they had plenty of room in the boats, and
started as comfortably as could be, and we hope
they will be able to take things comfortably
all the way along. They are going into a
game region, so we expect to have loud reports
from them occasionally. We wish them a
happy time of it generally, and only wish we
could be with them till--we got tired.
GA city cotemporary is on the anxious
seat as to 'where the money goes" which
causes our present taxes. He gives two alarm
ing instances of where the money goes. In
the first place our Mayor receives $1,000 salary
year! And second and lastly, the Council
acceded so far to the wishes of the fire depart
ment as to several times make donations tc
assist the departments efficiency. In view O
these alarming facts, he thinks lit is high time
that tax payers were looking after this Know
Nothing nonsense" Well we think this i:
the greatest display of know nothing non
sense we ever read even in that paper. VIZ
would advise this individual who has takeI
such sudden interest in taxes, to inquire int
the salaries Of Mayors at other places; whether
the Know Nothings fixed the salary of the
Mayor here OF not and what, are the duties o
Mayor besides attending meetings. Mr.. Hop
kins found these duties SO irksome and com
manded so much of his time, that he was once
determined to resign, and would have done i
but for the solicitations of his friends. 1t is
shame our contemporary, after all his search
has not been able to find single error in on
City Councils operations. Let him persevere

NOVEL MODE OF REAsoNING.-Years ago it
was claimed by the Welsh that one of their
countrymen was the first discoverer of Ameri-
ca. Their mode of proving it was in this wise:
Said they, one of our seamen fitted out an ex-
petition and started on a voyage of discovery
He was never heard of afterward, and if he
didn't discover America, then what became
of him?
