This vender of tliis wonderful fjwti soap was in bii;h voice, and spirit*, sung several mellifluous Imllnds, played on tiie banjo, and lliedihipitatvtl fractional currency poured in upon liitn like a Kpnntr frcidic't. \ Feller eiii/.ens,\ observed lie, *' \ don't look much like n rich man, but I am making nioro money than fil'tcen- tworitietlis of you put together, I wiu» raised lo tliin pKifessUin, and I under* stand it as well, if possible, an [ do the ten commandments, and I'll bet any man in the crow.I ten dollais ihai Ifim sell move of tliis benign and miiacnhuis toothwifh MI ten miiiules tluiti lie can in filleen,'''' \Pull tip, right there 1 I'll lakellmt liot,\ sakl a voice in the crowd. The pole.proprietor ot that melodious voice was Hob Wiggins, fi'otn Posey county, who is up here to attend the \hoss fair.\ Bob made his way tliroiiuh the assembled,yeomanry and mounted the box by the sido of the man of the tooth powder, who looked ns though he didn't exactly like the turn things had taken. But the crowd laughed, as crowds always will under such circum stances, and he lacked the conrago to back out. Tho preliminaries were ar- ranged, and it was agreed that the pro- fessor of the tooth wash should exhaust his ten minutes, and then let Wiggins follow in his own way, without the slightest interruption from the former. Wiggins descended from the box, and the other threw off his coat, turned his tnuiruu loose and shot off his mouth like a revolutionary blunderbus, seat tering far and wide. He kept, every- body in the bept sort of hum- r, and nt the expiration of his ten minutes had sold five bottles of his incomparable white-wash and considered the bet won. Wiggins then mounted, the box—his first appearance on any stage as a retail dealer in patent medicines—and pro- ceeded to business without a smile—as solemn, in fact, as if he had como to preach the funeral of his grandmother. \In the language of the Hon. Obe- diah Perkins,\ said he, \ fellow citizens of the United States of Indiana and Floyd county, I have a preparation here, which, unlike poppeys and other malicious and mischievous soft soaps ot the world, will restore the lost teeth of your great grandmothers, and bring them back to their original and pristine beauty and usefulness.

Why Sheridan wax Removed. A correspondent of the Boston Post, gives the following as stated to him by the Prosdenl: Willi regard to Sheridan's removal, the President thought it absurd lliat an intention to hinder reconstruction should bo atlribui cd to him on thin nc- count, when such a man as Geo. Thom- as was appointed to fill tho vacancy, the law being tho same, whichever was in com in and. He further stnted, that there were two good reasons for tho transfer of Sheridan, hut only one hud been con- sidered ; the first being of a personal character, was overlooked. The ground ot his removal was the exercise of lesrit- imale powors in an arbitrary and offen- sivo manner. As an instance, ho said the removal of Gov. Wells was entirely uncalled for and unjustifiable, Gov. Wells had placed at Sheridan's dispo- sal tiie whole civil machinery of the Stale, to aid him in the execution of the Reconstruction acts. Nor had the latter ever indicated or pointed out a single net or word of the Governor whieli was calculated to emba\rass him in tho proper execution of his duty. On the other hand, Gen. Sheridan had endeavored to execute the law as n par- tisan, and had adopted Radicalism ns the only true test ot loyalty. His sole purpose seemed to he to secure negro supremacy and degrade, the whitcs,and for such conduct he deemed it, his duty t*> relieve liitn from command. In reply to the question whether Sir. Johnson did not think Gov. Throck- morton had attempted to thwart the General in a proper execution ot the law, he answered emphatically : \ No, sir; the records prove the reverse. The Ciovornor of Texas also placed the whole civil machinery at the disposal ol tli« military power, and aided it in every way possible, except in the man- ufacture of a Radical majority of voters, and in securing negro supremacy. This wat; Gov. Throckmorton's sinninsr, and for which lie was athitrarily removed by General Sheridan.\ The President, srave a brief synopsis of bis position. li e desired a fair reg- istration of all qualified voters, without retrard to race or color, li e did not wish to give any advantage to the while men, hut much less was he disposed to make them the slaves to the negroes. Where the nesjfroes had the majority, as in South Carolina, he wi.-died them lo exercise the power; where the white vole is in the majority, as in Texas, he desired that white majority tocontiol. lie wanted only the law to be fairly ex- ecuted with equal cluinc.es to all. Thi- was being denied them by General Sheridan, and his manner and mode of acting was fast familiarizing the people with the tyranny of despotic govern- ment. Sir. Johnson intimated that other changes would soon follow in the de- partments. A proper investigation was now being made into the conduct of one or two other commanders, who, it was charged, were playing the auto- crat. Tho President expressed the greatest apprehension as to the future of our government, yet said he still re- lied on the good sense and patriotism of the people. In his speech in the United Stales Senate, in December, 1800, Mr. Johnson said he had de- nounced the parly who would breakup the government in order to preserve slavery, and he had also denounced those who would destroy the govern- ment in order to abolish slavery; he was equally opposed 4o both extremes now, and his only wish was for a return of fraternal relations among the Stales. -^*+«.^ TUNNEL UNDER THE ATLANTIC.—A proposition is on foot to start the gigan- tic undertaking running a tunnel under the Atlantic Ocean, in order to connect the New and Old Worlds together by means of a submarine railway. The most eminent engineers, both in Europe and America, have been consulted, and they have drawn up«a report which is alleged to be perfectly feasible, and only requires time and money to carry out, while tho capital, although stupen- dous, will be forthcoming. So far as calculated approximately, it will require five hundred million English pounds, or two billion five hundred million dollars. Plenly of capitalists are ready to engage in this undertaking, and as soon as the plans are arranged the money will be ad- vanced. The proposed plans are in them- selves the wonder of this skillful ago of engineering science. «*+*.» —The Springfield Republican of Fri- day opens a leaf in the Radical pro- gramme as follows: \A nice little scheme is suggested for giving Secretary Stanton his revenges upon President Johnson. Cameron is i 0 resign his senatorship, and Gov. Geary is t o appoint Mr. Stanton as his successor. Ben Wade is to resign the Presidency of the Senate, and Stanton to be elected to that place; then the Senate is to impeach and remove Mr. Johnson, and Stanton pecomes Presi- dent of the United States. Nothing is wanting to the success of this brilliant scheme but the consent ot all parties.\ —Tho rock ahead—what a young husand foresees when a cradle is brought home. An IriMlimuu'* LoUei*.

A rust Preucucr In Illinois, When the disciples were told to get into all the earth and preach the gos- pel, they were not told to shut their eyes when they met a pretty woman. The fact is to he regretted. If tho pro- hibition had accompanied the order to preach, the weak vessels who talk poli- tics from the pulpit and call themselves disciples, would have been relieved of the temptation which makes so many of them this \day and generation\ stum- ble into lascivious paths, and outrage decency while they bring reproach upon Christianity. Tho weakest of the weak vessels lives at Dongola, not far from this city, in Union county. R e is said to be a Methodist preacher; and is known by the name of the lvev, Mr. Axely. With a God-defying look on his face, he has a God-defying heart in his breast, and he \ hankers,\ with an inordinate pas- sion, after petticoats. Like Tennyson, he frequently has \ A Dream of Fair Women.\ His wife has become an old thing, and he often feels like breaking out of the restraints imposed upon hi*) by matrimony. A man of this kind, and particularly a preacher,is always in danger when he visits Cairo. There .are so many black eyes, blue eyes, gray eyes, hazel eyes, constantly sparkling from beneath the eye-brows of pretty women, who are always on the street, that an impressi- ble man is almost sure to be struck by one of the glances and fall a victim to overpowering beauty. Axely, being a susceptible man and a frequent visitor to Cairo, met Nellie , a rather comely member of the order of \The Social Evil,\ and fell- was lost.—threw all the little religion he professed to the winds, and went in to enjoying the pleasures of an unlaw- ful love. He thought only of Nellie. His visits to Cairo became more fre- quent and his exchequer became desti tnte of greenbacks. A few weeks ago, Axely's wife asked him for two dollars. He told her, with a sigh, that he had no money—that tho sinful world did not pay the shepnrds of Christian flocks as they should be paid. After dinner he laid down upon tho sofa to enjoy his siesta, and a letter dropped from his pocket. When his eves were closed, Mrs. Axely picked it ftp and saw that it won diruoied in her husband'u hand writing to: \Nellie — —, Cairo, III.\ Exoiled by jealousy, she opened it, when a five dollar bill dropped to the floor, Tho lettor as- sured \ adorable Nullio \ that tho rec- ollection of the pleasure ho had enjoy- ed in her company was fresh in his memory. Enclosed she wonld find five dollars and he would send her more In a short time. \ I hopo,\ the letter con- tinued, \that tho shoes I sent you fit your dear little feet.\ All through the letter, expressions of ondeannent were scattered, and it was signed by llio clerical raseal, tho unfaithful husband and base father. Sha'.l wo desciibo tho storm which swept through tho household? Wo lack tho ability to tell, in proper terms, how agonized the wifo was—humiliated tho children fell—how tho community foamed with denunciation—how the wolf in sheep's clothing cowered !— Cairo Democrat. •«»•*•»». Amcrictui Princesses, Amerioan Princesses are not so rare as is generally supposed, Quito a num- ber of tho fair daughter* of Undo 8am weftr \ that sweet aspect\ which Slinks* nenro tells ns is u princely characteristic. The eldest son ot the great Mural mar- ried on the .'fOth of July, 1820, while ro siding in this country the beautiful Car- oline Dudley, a grand-neiece of Gorge Washington\; Her husband died in 1847 but the Princess Mtlrat is still living. The wifo of the living Prince, Lueien Mitrat—tho head of bin house—was Car- oline Georgumn FfnKor,nn American lady who wrtshoili on the l£lih of April, 1910 and married the Prince on tho 10th of August, 1831, during his residence in ibis country. The suns and daughters of the Prince and Princess Muart, with ono exception, were born in this coun- try. The Murals pay great attention to such of their American relatives nnd acquaintances ns visit them in Paries, Then there is tho Princess de Noen, four yeans ago was plain Slits Mary Esther Lee, daughter of David Loo, a wealthy citizen of New York. On the 2d of November, 1864, she married Prince Frederick of Schleswig-Holstoin- Sonderbnrg Augustenhurg, who three days, after the wedding, wns created Prince de Noer by the Emperor of Aus- tria. Less than a year afterwards, on the 2d of July, 1805, the Prince de Noor died while on a voyage 'ot pleasure at Byrut, Syria. The widowed Princess resides, we believe, in Vienna. By her marriage she became the aunt of that Prince Christain of Sidiloswig-IIolstein, who re- cently wedded the Princess Salm-Salm. Iler husband, Prince Felix Salm-Salm, was a rather wild and adventurous member of jhe groat Austrian house of Salm-Salm, who came to this country at the outbreak of the rebellion, offered his services to the federal Government, and rose to tho rank of Brigadier Gen- eral, li e married Agnes LeClcrq, the daughter of Colonel LeClerq, of our volunteer sevice. It is this Princess Salm-Salm who lately made such strenu- ous efforts to save the life of Slaximil- inn, the Prince, after the close of our civial war, having joined the Mexican Imperial army. Her acts in this con- nection will entitle her to the gratitude of Francis Joseph, and both sho and her husband will doubtless take a high po- sition, upon their arrival in Vienna, among the titled members of the Aus train court circles. We say nothing of tho venerable Madame Bonaparte, of Baltimore, who, if she had her rights, would bo styled Princess. A s for Duchesses, and Countesses, and Baron- esses,there are any number of American women who have attained through marriage these minor noble titles. \»•••*—— THE NEW PCBOHASE OP TKBRITOIIT. —It appeal's that oitr government has been purchasing more territory. The purchase is the Bay of Samana, on Is- land of Hayli. _ The terms are said to be the acquisi- tion ot the bay and five miles circuit of adjacent land for the sum of $5,000,000 The Bay of Samana is situated on the south side of a peninsula of the same name in the Island of Hsyti, It is al- most completely land-locked, and tho' forty.three miles long by eight in width, the entrance is but three miles wide. It is capacious enough to contain any fleet which might bo collected, and from its shape, affords a harbor where vessels can anchor with perfect safety. The largest river of Hayli, the Yuna, emp- ties into the western end; and on the northern shore is situated the small town of Santa Barbara. — •«••« >. ATTEMPT TO MURDE R A WIPE !— A man by the name of Daniel Sullivan be- came intoxicated Friday, and while in this condition went and procured a pistol, deliberately loaded it with a double charge, and then as deliberately discharged tho weapon of death at the head of his wife! Nothing but an ac- cidental swaying of her body to one side saved the life of the wife, and the hus- band from being a murderer! The charge from the pistol just missod the woman and imbedded itself deep in the sido of the house. Word was immedi- ately sent to the police station and a number of policemen immediately ar- rested Sullivan.
