One morning last week, a gentleman residing on Seventh street, went into his kitchen just in time to prevent an explosion from coal oil. and the consequent lass of a se. vant, to say nothing of trouble and inconvenience of a funeral. The girl was about to pour coal oil upon a fire to make it burn more freely.

One of the best indications of a woman of wealth and real refinement is that she knows how to adapt her dress to all the necessities of position and circumstances, and does it. She never wears a white bonnet, obtrusive jewelry, a long dress, or thin shoes in the street, and neither does she wear a short plaiu walking dress in the evening, when ceremonious toilettes are expected. She knows what is suitable, and she adapts fashion to her conveniens ces.

The Pariic Street Grade.

To the Mayor and Common Council of the City of Tore Haute: Gents: My attention is called to report made to your Honorable body, on Tuesday evening last, by the City Engi ncer, in accordance with a resolution the Council requiring him to do so. The object and purpose of that report is obvi ous to nearly all who have been at all familiar with the recent controversy about the establishment of the grade and grading of Parke Street.

The report states: 1. "The water grade at the lower end of Fifth street runs to Sixth on Parke street, &c. 2. Said grade was established and placed upon the citv grade book, January 1, 1865. 3. The grade of the same has never been changed. 4. JS'o authority has ever been given to change the grade at the foot of Parke street."

For your enlightenment and future guid ance I wish to correct the City Engineer and show

him,

Real

of the Vigo Circuit Court there is a suit that, it brought to trial will be likely to cause quite a stir. Mri.

proseciite^^n from the Mail that

erson's honse'in Prairieton, wilh its contents except a few articles that were taken from the kitchen, was destroyed by fire on Tuesday night. The family were absent at church at the time, and first discovered the flames bursting from the windows. The excitement broke up the meeting for the time, and great efforts were made to extinguish the flames, but with no effect. There waa no insurance on the building. The fire is supposed to have been the result of an accident.

Opera Holsl

To-night, for the first time, the Opeia House stage will be used for the performance of cork opera, and if we may believe the commendatory notices of the press, the Macarthy Minstrels are well worthy of dedicating the beautiful temple to this line of amusement. We have already published a flattering testimonial from the Louisville Courier-Journal, and from the EvansvilJe Journal, at which place the troupe last appeared, we take the following: "When the public were promised a much improved entertainment by Macar thy and his Troupe of Minstrels, the extent of the improvement was not known, but after witnessing the performance last night it is suflicent to say that the half was not told. The Minstrel Troupe have improved by becoming accustomed to each other, so that they are now first class. The orchestra and the band are improved by the addition of a few players of great merit. The pieces chosen were generally better, but Harry Macarthy has not improved a bit, for, being born a genius and bred an actor, he attained perfection long ago and Mrs. Macarthy, who did not appear during their last visit, lent an additional attraction to the entertainment by her excellent acting, singing and dar.cing. Billy Diamond, the 'Boney' of the troupe, is a new addition, but Sam. Gardner's excellent bass has thesame old, familiar ring. They play again to night."

that he is very much out

of position in his bearings. 1. At the time he names, January 1 1865, there was no street known or re corded as Parke street, 2. The grade book

docs not

show the

establishment of the grade, or what was then known, only as South street, between Fifth and Third street, neither was it then opened, 3. August 26, 1866, the Council record shows the following: "A petition from James Farrington and three others asking that the Board of Common Council order a re-survey of the lower part of Filth street, embracing only the last s-quare, and including the cross street running from Fifth to Third "The petition was granted, and the May or appointed Fellenzer and Crane a com mittee to re-survey the same." 4. Sept. 4, 1866, the committee pre viously appointed to name new and un' named streets in the southern part ot the city made their report. Parke street was then adopted and first made known. 5. Oct. 16, 18C6, "Councilman Crane made a report to the Council that the grade be established on Parke street, from the south end of Fifth street west, includ ing esi iuiutes. Can ied."

Now don't these facts show that the City Engineer is very greatly in error in his report, and calculated to mislead you and the public in relation thereto? An other fact at the time he names Jan. 1, 1865, no Council had allowed its legislation to reach to disputed territory, hence no grade could have been permanently estab' lished outside of the old limits hence Mr. Strout, I repeat, is greatly at fault 6. I wish to call your attention further to the Council proceedings of August 1st and 5th, 1865, more than six months after Mr. Strout says the water grade was astablished on South, or what is now Parke street.

A Committee of five, consisting of McKeen, Crane, Sparks, Mewhiney and Paddock, made a report through the City Engineer on the petition of W. D. Orisworld and others in relation to the grade and grading of South Fourth street.

The Engineer ndds in that report as follows: "It is difficult to fix grades a square at a time, and therefore would suggest that so much of this grade (that is on Fourth street) as refers to the new city limits be not now finally adopted by the board until a survey and grade is made, crossing the new addition to the corporate limits of the city,"

T. C.

Ba.iley,

City Engineer.

On motion, the report of theCommittee was adopted. Fourth street remains today just where that report left it. 7. Now Gentlemen of the Council, I have shown that the grade on Parke street was established from Fifth street west, in Oct. 1866, and adopted by the Council cf that day. That grade was e~tablished for the water to go from Fifth to Third and not from Fifth to Sixth.

Engineer Strout two years ago, acted in accordance with that "grade, and it is right. Respectfully,

S. H. Pottkb.
