TitKttti may I* a thousand entertain menu given at the Opera House and the alarm of fire may never be heard. Then ngntn the very next performance may lie closed with a ligation. Those who have never witnessed such a scene as would follow, should listen for a few minutes to Col. Kelson's description of the burning ou Dec- 8, 1868, of the church I*a Compani*. at Santiago. S. A., when 3.000 men. women and children perished In the flames, That church had an exit aa com tn odious as our Opera House. To those who have never witnessed stich a sight, we say go and see Joteph O.

The anil thud term men are liarpiog on the words "Soldier of fortune." This is a most preposterous Idea, and the most empty charge that any sane person could put forward. Grant a mere "soldier of fortune He is Washington's legitimate successor, and for his excellence as a soldier, statesman and citizen, Gen. Shehnan admitted that Grant's position was elevated far abote that of Washington..

That Grant is pure, honest, simple and unpretending^ no good man can deny.( That Grant has received the l?ve of friends and the homage of millions of human beings, no one will vouchsafe. He was never untrue to a friend, and was al ways generous to his foes. Geir. Grant is a man who never tried to steal the lion's share of praise when others should share it with him but on the contrary, has atcredited far too much praise to those holding subordinate positions under him in his great struggle for human rights, for' in a private letter to Gen. Sherman, when he was leaving Nashville for Washington to receive his commission as lieutenant general he, in very kind tones, expressed his heart felt gratitude to those holding subordinate positions under him, and giving them the greater praise for his many successes. In answer General Sherman says: "You do yourself injustice and us too much honor in assigning to us so large a hhare of the merits which have led to your high advancement. I know you approve the friendship I have ever professed to you, and will permit me to continue I as heretofore to manifest it on nil proper occasions.

"I repeat, you do Gen. McPherson and myself too much honor. At Belmont 3*ou manifested your traits, neither of us being near at Donelson also you illustrated your whole character. 1 was not near, mid Gen. McPherson in too subordinate a capacity to influence you.

Until you had won Donelson, I confess 1 was almost cowed by the terrible array of anarchical elements that presented themselves at every point but that victory* admitted the ray of light which 1 have "followed ever since. "I believe you are as brave, patriotic and just, a.s the great prototype Washington as

unselfish,

kind-hearted anil hon

est, as a man should be but the chief characteristic in your nature is the simple faith in success you have always manifested. which I can liken to nothing else than the faith a Christian has in his Savior. "This faith gave you victory at Shiloh and Vicksburg. .Also, when you have completed your best preparations, you go into battle without hesitation, as at Chattanooga—no doubts, no reserve and I tell you that it was this that made us act with confidence. I knew wherever I was that you thought of me, and if I got in a tight placc you would come—if alive. 'My only points of doubt were as to your knowledge of grand strategy, and of hooks of science and history but Icon fess your common-sense seems to have supplied all this."

Is this the "soldier of fortune?" Was Napoleon, was Washington, Lafayette, Sherman, Lee, Sheridan and Jonhston, all "soldiers of fortuneY" Was Charlemagne, Frederick the Great, Von Molke, Prince-Frederick Charles also "soldiers of fortune?" Strange coincidence, indeed.

"OPERATIC."

We have been informed that George P. Blssell docs not own the Opera House. That it belongs to a New England insurance Company. We knew it belonged to some Eastern soulless person. The greater part of it belongs to the Travelers' Insurance Company of Hartford, Conn. Geo. P. Bissell, as we always knew, acted as trustee, and for ft long tirao had control of the concern. It may be true that he has had nothing to do with it for about two years. We don't know, neither do we care. The News is hunting for the owners who ever they may be so that they may be nywie to comply with the law. There can be no reasons urged by any sensible person why the law should be violated. Wc ask that the laws be enforced and that Is all. We want it enforced against the guilty no matter who they may be. If Geo. P. Blssell has no control now of the Opera House, we will let what we have already said oX hiin apply on the two years he did violate the law in his management of it. If you, and your legal cub will keep still, George, from this on. we will permit you to plead the "statute of limitations" in defence of your past crimes. But before doing that, as some people may not know who you are, we will state that George P. Bissell is an Eastern money shark, and is the same cowardly skunk whom Hon. John New, of Indianapolis, thrashed like a dog. in New York City not long since. Bnt as lie ceased hts crimes against the good people of Terre Haute near two years ago. we apologia—to the public for having mentioned a name so loathsome.

We dont care who own# this "Death Trap whoever does. Is a criminal. Th« only object In knowing who owns it I# to get at the criminal. 8o are the miserable cwhs» slaves and orangoatang* who now act as agenta, criminals. The law makes the agents liable to fine as well as the owners. Onr future remarks will be devoted to the agent of this human smoke-house and the Travelers Insurance Oo. Unless they cease their notorious vfclatioiia of the law. thcr* will he a "Company of Trair eJefsf* towards the station house. The law itmst and shall he ob#WTf«!
