THE New York Times says General
BUTLER went to Washington with the
fixed determination to force the i'm
parchment question upon Congress at
its present session. How far he will
be sustained by his associates remains
to be seen. Several Of those who
favor the measure itself will hesitate,
we think, to press it at this Summer
session. And We deem it quite GER
tain that even if the House should
send to the Senate a bill Of ~impeach-
ment, that body would rot enter upon
its trial before the regular session.
The country and the great body of the
Republican party are opposed to any
thing of the sort.

peting towns at Rockville, Montezu-
ma and Paris. for the trade of this
rich agricultural region. This sue
cessfully accomplished, and in all
probability this beautiful and enter
p%rising city would be made" But
the Terre Haute interest. in answer
to these threats, say they can and will
build a through road to st. Louis.
But this is a large undertaking. and
of questionable profit when complet-
ed. The Journal of this place has
a lengthy and able article this morn
ing, written, evidently, in the interest
of the Eastern combination. present.
ing strong reasons why the Road
should be sold. But Messrs. ROSE,
mexican and their associates, are re-
puted to be long-headed; and as they
apparently represent the interests of
Terre Haute and the people, against
a grasping and wealthy combination,
the popular feeling is with them. 1t
is a question, however. whether they
will not, in the end, be compelled to
/ yield.
The object next in interest and con-
versation to the Railroad, or probably
more talked about, is the artes;an
well at the Terre Haute House. 1t is
known as the Rose Well; first the
Salt Well then the OIL Well, and lastly
the Sulphur Well. 1t now pours o ut
a stream equal to about three hundred
barrels Of water of the most villainous
quality, if you judge from either of the
sense Of taste or smell. 1t is a com
bination of sulphur, coal oil and salt
water, all uniting as the contents
Of each vein comes up from the sub
terranean sources. This we'll has been
the origin of Great Expectations
to the people here, and a fruitful to-
pic of conversation; but whether it
will be of any practical value in the
end, is doubtful. It is stated that it
can be successfully tubed, and
pure, clear, beautiful and life-invigor-
ating sulphur water drawn off. IF
such is the case, we may hope to see
the Hotel turned into a first class wa
tering place. 1t is claimed by practi-
cal men. that if the well is sunk thirty
feet deeper, it will strike a vein of
water which will throw a stream fifty
feet high, and supply the whole city
from natural water works. Would
that Evansville were the possessor of
such a we'll.

THE New York Times thinks the
suicide business has now been carried
to such a~pitch of extravaganza by the
performance at st. Peters, that it
hopes to see a little reaction in that
form of sensation. Now that a man
has cut his throat in the great church,
in presence of a hundred thousand
spectators, dying under the statue of
ST. Peters, we trust that it will be con-
coded that nothing else in that line
worthy to be called novel is possible,
and that eccentric suicides will be
given IN.

SOME Of the newspapers are already
urging Congress tt do this and do

amendment to the law taxing whisky

ment to the Reconstruction Law is
what brought that body together, and
as soon as that work is accomplished,
an adjournment ought to take place.

present at this session, and tampering
with the evenue laws ought always
to be done with great prudence and
with a full house when every part

REMEDY FOR THECANKE Won

REMEDY o THE CANKER WORMS.
A correspondent of the New York
Post advises the introduction of
English sparrows as a remedy for
those terrible pests, the. canker
worms. They should be provided
with good bird houses and fed from
October to May They will become
as tame as chickens, and will exter-
inmate the whole race of tree worms.
In proof of this the writer says that
last week one dollar reward was Of
fered for every tree worm found in
Union Park Square, and none could
be found. They have been destroyed
by the sparrows and blue birds do
mesticated there. The bird-houses
protect the birds from the storms,
owls, hawks, and cats, and are a great
success in New York.
