Mazeppa at Dowling Hall to

night.

'The Vermillion county

Bear in mind the call for a meet

ing for the purpose of forming a Grant Club. We take it for Grant-ed, however, it will b« a rousing big meeting, without any unnecessary blowing.

COUNTY SCHOOLS.—The Journal states that in Pierson township there are nine public schools in active and successful operation, with an average attendance ol twenty-five scholars each. These schools will continue open this season for a period of five months and five days. The wonderful improvement in the matter of schools in this county is a source of great satisfaction to every friend of education and no member of the coming generation need grow up to manhood's estate without possessing a fair share of knowledge in the rudimentary branches.

MAZEPPA !—This brilliant spectacular drama was presented for the first time at Dowling Hall last evening in a most acceptable manner. Miss Kato Fishers' impersonation of the title role was viva^ cious, chaste and modest. Her trained horse, Don Juan, is admirable, and the scenes in which he took part, were given in a much better style than might have been expected from tho limited accom«i modations of the Hall. The entiro company is good, and support the leading lady fully. Those who expccted to ^ee anything at all immodest indelicate were entirely disappointed.

Mazeppa will be repeated to-night.

'J. W. T. Tannery, was before thn Mayor yesterday, charged with stoalinga suit of clothes from Mr. A. Jackson. It seems that Tannery was at work for Mr. Jackson's fathcr-in-taw, who resides about four miles from the city, and that Jackson was "stopping at the same house.— Tannery rose at an early hour and donned a fine suit belonging to Jackson and, leaving his own shabby habiliments, "lit out" with creditable spoed. He had "Westernized some miles when he was overtaken and brought to the city. The Mayor decided that his operations in the clothing line vero illegitimate and committed him for trial in default ®f $500 bail.

TERRE HAUTE DIRECTORY.—We found on our table last evening a copy of this work, with the compliments of Mr. A. L, Logan, the compiler and publisher, who is now delivering the book in this city. Wo have only time for a hasty glance, but in that are favorably impressed with the work. The typographical execution is excellent. The directory embraces an alphabetical list of the names of citizens, institutions, corporations, &c., a sketch of tho early history of the city, municipal record, and other matters of interest It also contains a classified business directory of all the towns in this vicinity, to which is added a complete list of post offices in this State and Illinois. It is most usoful and valuable book. Copies may be had of the publisher at tho Terro Haute

House. We will speak of it more fully after a careful examination.

The Republican Convention ol

Dearborn county instructed their delegates to the State Convention to vote for Prof. J. M. Olcott for Superintendent of Public Instruction.

Last summer when it was stated that the Iron and Nail Works of Turner, Glover & Co. would be in operation by the first of February it seemed impossible that the buildings could be erected and the necessary ponderous machiney placed therein in so Ehort a time but the energy and perservance of those in charge have caused the materials to be collected, the machinery to be set in place, and the works to arise as if by magic. For this early completion great credit is due to such persevering and industrious gentlemen as George Turner, Manager Benjamin Wilhelm, Machinist William draw ford, Master Builder and Jasper A.

Morgan, at the head of the Finance De partment. On Wednesday the engines and machinery were heated up. and on yesterday morning we visited the Works to find the rolling department in full Dlast, and the interesting—and to this community, novel processs—witnessed by a largo crowd of people, including many ladies.

The works are located about one mile south-east of the Terre Haute House within fifty feet of the E. & C. R. 3., and on the road leading out from Fourteenth street. The main building is a substantial frame structure covering a space of two hundred by eighty feet and of suf. ficient height to admit of the necessary machinery. To this are added ^Jg^ber of shops and sheds.

The organization will be known as the "TERRE HAUTE IRON WORKS,or TURNER^ GLOVER & Co." The stockholders are! George Turner, Joshua E. Glover, Joseph 8. Glover, William Crawford, Benjamin Wilhelm, and Jasper A. Morgan. Al| these gentlemen are from Toungstown, Ohio, and now propose to make this city their future home. All are practical working or business men, and each fitted for the position severally occupied.

The capital stock of the compahy $120,000. The iron now used comes Irom the blast furnace at Harmony, Clay county and the coal from Sullivan county. The latter is believed to be better for rolling mill purposes, and will bo used in preference to tho famed Brazil coal, at least for the present. W^o learn the company have largo interests in tho coal fields of Sullivan county.

Tho machinery, or rather the mri'ck train and nail Dlate train, is driven by a monster engine of five hundred horse* power, built at Pittsburgh, by Robinson Ray & Co. In addition, tho nail ma. chines are driven by an engine of sixty-horse-power, made at Salem, Ohio, by Sharp, David & Bonsall and a portable engine drives the machinery in the machino and blacksmith shop3.

There are six immense puddling"Tur. naces—two now In use—into which the pig iron is placed, to pass under a fierce heat. When melted to a white heat and almost liquid !tate, it is taken out in lumps of about one hundred pounds, and carried on iron trucks to an immense cylindrical "squeezer," (which takes the place of the old trip-hammer.) The lump is thrown in and making a revolution, with a whiz! whang! bang! like the noise of a package of largo fire works or a park of artillery, comes out a round roll one or two feet in length. Then it passes between two powerful rollers through a series of grooves, each sueceeeing one smaller in size, and in less time than we have written this paragraph, the shapeless lump of molten iron is laid aside in a red heat to cool, a bar or rod of iron some ten feet long.— Afterwards, in preparing for nail machines, the bars are cut up by a large pair of muck shears, weighing eighteen thousand pounds. These shears and the squeezer, weighing forty thousand pounds were manufactured at Youngstown, Ohio, by Homer, Hamilton & Co.

On an elevated platform are arranged in two rows the nail machines—at presene sixteen in number. Several additional machines will soon be put on. These are of the latest and best patterns, and of the very best manufacture. One large spike machine is the fourth ever made in this country of that size. These machines when in operation will turn out eight hundred kegs of nails per day

The Machine shop is supplied with turning lathes, drill presses, bolt cutters andjall necessary machinery, and these have been used in the erection of the works, thus saving considerable expense. The company will be engaged a couple of weeks more in making tools needed: and tho nail machinos will not be in operation before the first of March.

Not tho least prominent objects that strike the eye of the visitor are the large fly wheel 20J feet in diameter, regulating tho motion of the engine and machinery attached, and four huge grind-stones averaging four tons each. These lhtter will bo used in grinding knives of the nail machinesj

Some idea of the ponderous machinery used may be formed when it is stated that the entire castings weigh 330 tons, or six hundred and sixty thousand pounds 1

The muck train and nail-plate train were made by Chas. Knapp Nephews, of Pittsburgh, who were made famous as as manufactures of big guns during "the late on pleasantness."

The engines and entire works are supplied with water from one well, which, upon severe test, has been found inexhaustible. This feature, which has been a question of no little anxiety at other points will not cause any trouble here.

The works, at least for the present, will only be operated in the day time and will afford employment for a force of from sixty to one hundred men. At first only those articles the most profitable and commanding the readiest Me will be manufactured, but in cousre of time every article usually made in a rolling mjll and nail works will be included.

The entire machinery now in operation is running most beautifully and giving ensire satisfaction. A specimen of the first day's manufacture of iron mfcy be

ST. VALENTINE'S DAY.—To-day, the 14th of February, is dedicated to St. Valentine, a fact that will be apparent to those of our readers who may go in the., vicinity of the Post Office at ar.y hour today. The custom of sending sweet epis--: ties on this day is fast degenerating and is now almost wholly confined to children and other tender people. Nevertheless a few items connected with the event may not bo uninteresting.

The festival, which lasts for seven days from the 14th of February, but which in this country is generally all done up on the 14tb, or first, the Americans in their love-making, as in everything else, doing it with a hurrah speed, is devoted in Love, and is one of the n.ost ancient ob served among tho Britons.

It is supposed by some that the Festival of Valentine is merely a rebaptizing of the Roman Lupcrcalia into Christian society and manners. On the celebration of Lupercalia, the names of young wo». men were deposited in a vase, irom which they were drawn by the men as chance directed. The pastors of tho early Christian Church, who by every means endeavored to eradicate tbe ves-. tiges of Pagan superstition, substituted in the present instances the names of Saints instead of* 'those of the women, anl as the festival of the Lupercalia %d conimeucftdabout themiddlo ,o^ February, they ciose St."Valentine's 5-Day"for celebrating the new feast, and accordingly the outline" of ttio ancient, was preserved.

The gentry., in England, nearly fivo centuries sincc, adopted tho custom of choosing Valentines as one of their social sports. When tho opposite sex drew out the name of his or her Val en tine,it was looked upon as an omen of their being man and wife aftfijeward.

It is recorded that on St. Valentine's Day each bi|J of,tbe.air chooses its mate. "Our ancestors, says a*'co£em"peraryi "were pretty close observers of nature, and there is but little Uoubt but that, as they noticed (Jbeubir.d:-', which first, begin to build and pafr ^r Ibis' ptriodrtffien the weather is favorable, so natural an occurrence might,leai jLo youths and maidens imitating tho*6ii«tom by selecting lovers, glad of any atir.iseman^ after the dark mid-winter has p^sed, and"as falbaclc as the day can be traced, it is linked with the mating of birds."

The following is..a specimen of the divinatioM 'of the Tfoto'eri "kind in olden time: "Last Friday was Valentine's day, and the night before I got five Bay loaves, and pinned four of them to tho lour cot^ ners of my pillow, and the fifth to the middle and then if I dream of my sweetheart, Betty .said we should be married before tho year was out. But to make it more su#« i'boiled an egg hard, and took out tho yolk and filled it with salt, and when I went to bed 1 cat it, shell and all, without speaking or drinking after it.— We also wrote our lovers' names on paper, and rolled them up in clay, and put them in water, and the first that rose up was to be our Valentine. Would you think it, Mr. Blossom was my man. I lay abed and shut my oye3 all the morning till he came to our houso, for I would not have seen another man before him for all the world."

Thomas Miller, the "Basket Maker" of London, in his -'Beauties of the Country," has given us some delightful reminiscences of his experience in celebrating Valentine. '"Well do I remember our stealing softly in the garden and looking for some crevice in the cottage door, depositing the messenger of love under the chink, or between the window shutters. Others, more daring, would throw open the door, and hurl tho love-breathing document in the center of the family. Then .there were shooting of-*h«-fwthew, and hobbling of old mothers, to see who it was that had selected their rosy daughter for his Valentine. But the youth was generally too nimble, and ere they had crossed the threshold he was over the garden, and away across the fields, hidden by the darkness. When tho candle was snuffed, the blushing girl t© whom it was addressed, after many entreaties from father and mother, drew it from her bosom, and allowed them to look at the picture.— And although the female face was hideously drawn, with a nose projecting like a buttress, and an eye horr.'bly black with ink, and a patch of hideous red upon th'e cheek, still the mother declared that it was "the very moral of Mary."

Valentinus, borrowing many of his opinions from Plato's Timseus, taught that Deity, which ho called plcroma or plenitude, consisted of three principles, Byhos or Death, Ennce, or Thought, and Siege, or Silenco that, from this creative power of three principles, sprung Gnatis or Nous, Intelligence, from the Greek Gutnousko to know, and Aletheue, or Truth, the first being the only son, the second the only daughter of this creative power and that from the union of Nous and A.'etheioc proceeded !ife and the vsorld, or in other words, the vital principle, and all things in the world which it animates.— According to this doctrine, tho world Itself, and all things animated which it contains, aro tho issue of a marriage between Intelligence and Truth and hence Valentinus was regarded as teaching that marriage w'Hptihe foundaQbh Of aff tibings, that without' maVrlage tothihg-'Created

Eh ilU wdrslKp? Heathen gods^br Christian saints, their especial power is acknowledged by their votaries and hence the idea of their exerting that especial power on the day of worship and as Valentinus presided over love and marriage, he would, of course, be supposed to exert h® iSpe^al power on that day, in'dispos? ,11 (prions^ to marriag£ and as the exercise of his power commenced with tire day, the' persons. of different sexes.

Eaeh one's consciousness of tho other's presence rep^e^/n^ZZ|yen«, and their destination to oichfe other tmpfies Truth, and Intelligence and Truth are the divine parties in the first marriage, and consequently the parents of all things. And as all animated beings proceed from marriage, and consequently are under tbe power of Valen» tinus on the Fpvirteenth of February, not only to humlirL&eifig8, "but all fhe lower animals that pair or marry, make their conjugal choice on that day.

An ancient author thus discourseth upon the usages of the olden times: ^'WGhen yei day"cometh at an untoward tyme, so that yt falloth yppon Sunncday, then shalt- thou nse thyselfe to -making Voluntynes upon the day which cometh afore^and^ gThou mayst not nevertheless indyln yppon tho Sabbathe, but yf thou hast a Voluntyne for thy mistresse thou mayst put in yn her prayer booke trusting yt she bee of a truly pious mynde, she will not open the sayme yntille she hath come ynto her own room." "Upponne ye Mondaio aftyr thou shouldst beginne the worke afl'reshe in ye mornyne by tymes, and when thou hast eatyn to stay thy stomache, keene to thy taske even antyle ye going down of ye sunne. "But none of thy fayre friends lack for thy courtesie—doe untoe them all equally, save one whom thou delightest^most to worshippe and /or hyr lette their^ bo sent a most gaude and pleasant looking Voluntyne, ye whycho shall have borders of daintie emblems and shall cons taine the most fantasticke conceits, strune together and perfumed with ye very spicj est of thy imaginyngs."

The valentine business as carried on in Now York, the leading manufacturing point, absorbs much Jfcapitsil, a'nd gives employment to more persons than the public are apt to suppose. ANew York paper says: ."This is the center of the valentine trade. Three large houses arjd a half dozen smaller firms here transact most of the business, but there are a few other firms in Philadelphia and Boston. The manufacture is carriod on mainly by girls, who usually earn from six to seven dollars a week, though a very skillful work.er is paid fifteen dollars a week for piece work. .This is usually done by some special artist, and, judging from the many varieties of valentines, their success in meeting the populnr taste is surprising. •'The paper of which the valentines are made is all imported, the ornaments are added here. Some of this work is: of artistic finish, and shows much taste both in design and execution. Besides the ordinary amatory kinds, there are motto cards of various kinds, besides sachets for holding perfumes, which are often inclosed with valentines. The profit on the cheaper kind is very small, and dealers depend upon tho better qualities for profitable returns. Four hundred and thirtytwo varietios of the cheap kinds aro issued by one New York firm alone, and the sale is enormous. Everything of interest that can be made the subject of cheap wit is pressed into this service, and in this year's varieties base ball clubs, waterfalls, and croquet receive prominent notice."

The letter-writing of this festival is un doubtedly that most observed in this country, and that most keenly relished.— For this there are ample opportunities ndw, and the designs of letter sheets, to be found at the book stores, are various, beautiful, tempting and suggestive. This should be confined to the acknowledged circle of friends and associates, and con ducted with delicacy and propriety, OT the whole festival degenerates into grossness, and is unworthy of being perpetua ted for a day.
