Accident.

A little son of John Dugnn while playing in the yard in the rear of the new building in process of erection between Sixth and Seventh streets, fell into a cistern which was open. The little follow sank immediately to the bottom of the cistern which was full of water, After about five minutes of incessant labor the little boy was fished out. When laid upon the ground there was no signs of life, but friends who were near went immediately to work and after working and rubbing life was soon restored. This unfortunate lofoay*m soon entirely recover.

Concert.

A very fair audicncc assembled at the Christian churchjlast night. Owing to some misunderstanding in regard to the music the entertainment was not commenced until later than the appointed time.

The first piece on the programme "The Phantom Chorus," was well Hung by six voices considering the fact that the singers had not practiced,'together. The soprano was represented by Miss Simpson, the alto by Miss Ensey, the tenor by Messrs. Hodgin and Petyjohn and the bass by Messrs. Roseberg and Danaldson. "Caprice Heroique',' was rendered by Prof. Leibing in a very pleasinstand enjoy able manner. Of tbisgentleman's ability as a musician the public is well aware and it is useless for us to comment further. "Moonlight on the Rhine," sung by Misses Lizzie and Ida Ensey was enjoyed by their hearers. The case with which the ladies sing is very pleasing to their listners..

The next exercise was a solo, "The Shadow Song" by Miss Simpson. This *M well sung and reflects credit upon the ability of the lady. "Softly Dream Sweet Love," as rendered by the Davis family was received by the audience, as are all of their exercises, with the greatest pleasure.

Prof. Leibing next played a very beautiful instrumental solo in two parts. "Looking Back" was then sung by Miss Anna Hyde. The feeling and ex preasion with which she renders her selections is such as to effect her hearers with all the sentiment contained in the music. Her execution is wholly free from affectation, a characteristic quite uncom mon among public singers and the ease with which she sings is worthy of the greatest praise.

Mr. and Mrs. Dan Davis next gave a duat, "Life's Dream is O'er." in their usual pleasing and effective style. Tbe attentiveness of tbe audience showed with what interest it was received.

A song by miss May XcEwan, was sung In her usual pleasing manner. Pro Phundo Basso by Mrs. Dan Davis, Messrs. Wm. G., Dan and Thomas Davis, *m as tbe title indicates, a very conical quartette, and the way ia which it was presented drew from the audience around of applause which was so enthuiastic that it was responded to by tbe singers with a quartette entitled 'Tve Been Thinking.'"

The persons who attended enjoyed tbe exercises and went away well pleased with tbe evening's entertainment.

THIS IS THE LAW

With Brfcrcwt to the

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.

The first section of article sixteen of the State Constitution provides that amendments to the Constitution may be proposed in either branch of tbe legislature, and if the same shall be agreed to by a majority of the members thereof, it shall then be referred to the next legislature, and if agreed to by a majority of both branches of said legislature, then it shall be submitted to the electors of the State "and if a majority of said electors shall ratify the same, such amendment or amendments shall become apart of this constitution."

This is the only constitutional provision relating to the time of the taking effect of the amendments. In the legislative enactment relating to the amendments recently submitted to the people, it is provided that the Secretary of State shall within two months after the election, determine the total vote in the State for and against each amendment, and certify the same to the Governor. And the Governor shall immediately issue aud publish his proclamation declaring the number of votes for and against each amendment.

That proclamation the Governor has made, i|unouncing that the amendments were all carried. Then we say that all of said amendments, except those requiring additional legislation, became apart of the constitution as soon as voted upon, or in other words they became apart of the constitution when the Governor made his proclamation, relating back to the date of their adoption by a vote of the majority of the electors of the State. That is the legal effect of the above named constitutional provision aud legislative enactment. But there are some of the late amendments which require additional legislation, and they will not take effect iuntil such legislation is bad. At least that is the case with reference to the clause pertaining to the "Registration laws." So then it follows that the constitutional provision requiring a resi denee^80 days in the ward or precinct before voting is in force. It also follows that the provision relating to registering before voting is not in force. Then on

Who is Alice H. Joab.

entitled to a

vote unlSs he has been a resident of the ward in which he seeks to vote at least 30 days, immediately proceeding the day of election, but no man is required to be registered in order to entitle him to vole on that day.

ALICE II. JOAB has a very long article in yesterday's issue of the Qatettt on the bad spirit in which the Terre Haute Express reported CookN lecture. Alice says that Joe said "The Divine Essence has made no blunder in the physical world."

As Col. Ingersoll says in answer to tbis, why didn't the Divine Essence make good health-catching instead of disease.

If Alice will get a good compound solar microscope and fix a time, we will meet her and see if we together can see the point to her article.

Laura Ream.

Communicated. Perhaps it will not be out of place to offer a few criticisms on one who has been privileged to so often comment upon others but be it understood it is with the kindliest feeling toward her, whom none know but to respect and learn to admire, for her quiet lady-like bearing in her chosen vocation in life.

Of the many who have heard of Miss R, comparatively few have had the pleasure to meet or see her. For those I will offer this description: She is brunette, about five feet five inches in height, slen der in form and in feature, high forehead, black hair, dressed low over the brow iu half-way girlish fashion of frizzy curls, which I almost felt it my dutj' to brush up out of her eyes, already suflicieuUy shaded by the glasses she wore, and which prevented me from deciding to my satisfaction whether they were dark gray, or black quite prominent nose, longjaV of mouth none to small and pointed chin. 1 should guess her weight to be near 110 or 115 lwAinos. While f- hardly think she would pass for a first class beauty, yet her general contour bespoke her every iuch a lady of refinement, capacity and mirth provoking wil. Her voice" though low. was clear and her enunciation usually dis tinet.

Although her audience was not uearly st) large as she deserved, it was of the most cultured and refined of our community, and she will recognize the fact, that what it lacked in quantity was made up in quality, aud the loss was lo those who did not attend.

While cogitating upon this subject, there recured to my mind some remarks uttered by one of the most cultured and intelligent clergymen of our city viz "Man is what woman makes hiiu." In tMs I think he is slightly mistaken, or else is forgetful that conflicts in the battle for life, circumstances and opportunities have a much stronger control in power than a ood little wife at home who knows uoth-

IVJJ of how. wheu or wherefrom, the money has been gathered to support her daily needs. In opposition to that thought, came this are women what men make them? Is tins woman what man has made Iter Or has she, by industry and perseverance improved the opportunities which circumstances have^unde ready-for her so directing and ordering her life that she can now command the respectful attention of men, by her peti anu tongue, that they are ready to do her homage at all times. Dofes she not hold undisputed title to her possessions, viewed either from a professional Or commercial stand point, notwithstanding his severance forbids that. Lady-hood should in "These days of innovation or progression." aspire to anything more than to he-man's patient uncomplaining body servant whose duty is to humor to interest, and to inspire, and. at the last on her Angel wings, near his heavy laden soul as well as her own up to the gates of Heaven, if not within its portals.

Is not that Adam like? To-night, in vain I scanned the Audience for his presence if there, he must have felt ana made himself too small to be seen, for he was easily discerned among the numerous spectators of all classes who attended the circus bust Saturday, while the lady performer on the trapeze was astounding all by her daring display of life, limb and muscle. (Consistency, where art thou? (aside) it is time to blush).

But, Laura, we have no blush for you our cheerful smile shall be as the reflection of your own, while our presence shall encourage you to still further persevere even though as to-night, I am somewhat disappointed in that which I expected you say of my loved California, with: Her mountain* of rock and giant tree*. Her

flower* and
