Richardson & Giffhorn, of the Tel^pygh Mills, are nor putting their new boiler in place, and in a couple of weeks will have tlu-lr mill in running order, with better machinery than before the recent unfortunate explosion.

Foolish.—

Under this head an exchange enumerates several pointed paragraphs, among which are the following:

For a y(ung man to think he does himself credit by hanging round theater doors, smoking bad cigars and paying for expensive oyster suppers, in order to be called "liberal" by a clique of youths as soft in the brain as himself.

For a lady to be annoyed because gentlemen do not always give her the best half of the street and the nicest soat in the omnibus. She should not forget that these conventional courtesies are not her right farther than they choose to concede them.

For an unfledged clerk to think he must buy extravagant gloves and cravats for every festive occasion, because T. Jones, whose father is worth thirty thousand dollars, does so. The best wav of proving his manhood would be to let such things entirely alone—self-denial is better than a fortune.

For a girl to think she is establishing her character a§ yoong lady of fashion, by allowing her mother to toil through all the drudgery of the lroiise, and then investing her money in gaudy brooches and artificial flower*

For a man to suppose himself a gentlemen because he loucnes his hat tTa party of Splendidly dressed ladies, while he scorns to eitend a helding hand to the poor old woman struggling across the street.

I^qu^g

thti'Jyester daf Oliver C. Terry «f Prairieton, was brought on a charge of stealing from one Laura Jones, residing in this city, the sum of $27 in money, and revolver. Failing to give bail in the sum of $200, he was committed to jail, and the Grand Jury will take immediate action on his case-

John Casey, a resident of North Fourth street, was also brought before the sartie tribunal on charge of taking $3 in currency and a silver watch from a man named MeCarey. A patient hearing of the case developed the facts that neither of the pariies ever had possession of a watch, with some doubts as to whether either had ever possessed the large sum of three dollars at one time, and that both parties were drunk at the time the articles were said to be laken. Casey was discharged.

Pi'CHAiLLU,{who lectures in the Opera House next- Monday night, has been a most persevering and successful explorer His first extended tour was through that part of Africa where the Gorilla is only found, and lasted four years. During this time, unatcompinied by white men and on foot, he traveled about eight thousand miles shot, stuffed and brought home over two thousand birds, of which over sixty are new specie?, and killed upward of one thousand quadrupeds, of which two .hundred^ were, stuffed and brought hoade, with more,tuftn- eighty skeletons. "Not less than twenty of these quad rupeds are species hitherto unknown to science."—Harper'* Magaeme.

B. Hudson, in a letter from

Hot Springs Arkansas, dated January 1st, says.: "1 have been here now four weeks and I feel much better than when I left home Whether to attribute it to the great me dicinal qualities of the water, of simply th change of climate, I am tihdible to tell."

The Macarthy Minstrels played and sang to' a very slim house last evening, They go hence to Shelby ville, Illinois.

-As we have the programme and

have shaken hands with the advance agent, it is safps to say that Christina Nils sou, the charming Queen of Song, will certainly utter her notes while Max Stra ko9h takes in the1 notes of our people, at the Opera House'on Tuesday evening next and that our readers may have an idea of what a treat is in store for them we transfer to our colQmas the followin from the Chicago Joitj-nfil:

At her first appearance we were carried away by the singer—last night we were enraptured with the woman,oind both singer and woman shall be the. theme of our present criticism.

On the programmes of the past two evenings, Miss Nilsson was announced to sing six different pieces. Yet in respond ing to the whole-souled encores she gave us twelve. Each one oi them was of different character, affording her an op pbrtunity of displaying a versatility of talent,-equally great in all, With- the voice of a pure soprany, and a ,compass as full as any voice of this class, she com bines such evenness of tone that the most acute ear can discover no difference^ of quality from the lowest to the highest note of the scale. In her great range (if ttflce, from A below the lines, to I) above the staff, she renders any kind ot pas sage, whether consisting of sustained notes, or of such requiring the greatest velocity, with equal power and purity.— Her lowest notes come out as clear and ringing as the highest, and her highest a.« soft and mellow as the lowest. Hef tones are never muffled nor indistinct, nor the slightest tinge of shrillness perceptible.

A perfect roundness distinguishes every sound she utters. Never straining the voice, it never seems to be loud heacethe involuntary belief that she would fail Ln power, when power was required. IHii't this is an erroneous conclusion, tho°e Mio last night listened to her rendering of the grand "mad scene" from "Hamlet," by Ambroise Thotuas, will now be convinced if they observed how it filled the ear and hoW distinctly every inflection was heard through the fullest harmony of the or chestra.

The same clearness was observable in her pianissimo. When in the beautiful final cadences she prolonged a tone atten uated it by degrees, ana falling gently upon the final note, the sound, though as ethereal as the sighing of a breeze, reach ed every part of the house. Much of the effect of this unrivalled voice is derived from the natural physical beauty of its sonnd, but still more from the exquisite skill and taste in which it is used, and the intelligence and sensibility of which it is the organ. Miss Nilsson's performance is that of a natural musician. Every passage is as highly finished,

perfect

in tone, time and articulation as if it proceeded from the violin of a Paganini or a Vieuxtemps, with the additional charm which lies in the human voice divine. The embellishments show her richest fancy and boundless facility, but they show still more remarkably a well regulated judgment and taste.

In the "mad scene" above alluded to, her action was sufficient to show how easy, natural and perfectly original she can be when representing a character not her own how her individuality entirely disappears in her dramatic assumptions. Her whole soul melted into and vitalized the creation of the part, while high art stamped perfection on her impersonations.

As a weman she is not what people in general would call handsome, yet her aspect is most pleasing. Her features are well marked and expressive. Her eyes, we should think, light blue or grev, heavenly in their sweetness. Her hair is ot a pale flaxen, very abundant and glossy. In figure she is slightly above the medium hight, well formed, and very graceful when in motion.

She is reserved, modest and dignified, tempered withal by an air of simplicity and goodness perfectly enchanting. Intelligence permeates every feature, lights them all up, and not only stamps the word genius upon them, but lends them a radiance and beauty unsurpassed by any prima donna we ever saw or heard before. 'O

's is the first lecture, and first

real. iiitelectual entertainment ever given at the Opera House, and will afford many of our citizens a good opportunitv to visit it.

QoxpEpTAt theAsbofy

~everiligf w«3-%ell "attended,

the large auditorium being filled com. fortably full, and from the frequent applause bestowed, the performance muBt have givei great eatfeiaetion.

The programme was commenced with full chorus "To Thee, O Lord, to Thee," after which the Davis Family sang in their Usual excellent style—"Let the An* gels come in." After a full chorus "City of the Lord," Prof. O'Kane sang with much fervor "Bill and Joe." Prof. Paige then sang, by request, "Mrs. Lofty and J," which was greeted with- applause. This was followed by a charming duett,tendered by Misses Hughes, accompanied by Mr. Owens on the violin. The piece was well rendered and loudly applauded. Then came a splendid quartette "Safely through another week" by Misses Hughes^ W. Davis and Mr. Farris. "My Trundle Bed" followed next, by Prof. O'Kane, and was exquisitely sung.

A solo and chorus, the title of which we did not catch ,cauie next on the programme, Mr. Teel executing the solo with fine effect. A full chorus was rendered '/Behold the Stranger at the Door and also, "Hold the light up higher." By request of Rev. Mr. Hill, a beautiful solo and chorus, with Prof. O'Kane on the solo, .followed, and the interesting programme was concluded with "The Tempest," a fine descriptive piece by Prof. O'Kane. The audience dispersed with a benediction pronounced by Rev. J&mtg Hill, feelin| that aa evening had been pleasantly, spent. Prof. O'Kane, the director of the? concert, is from Delaware, Ohio, and the most of the ahove music is of his own composition, selected from the "Due Drop," a music book of which he is the author and compiler. We hope to hear of his coming soon again. LUO

A Card.

-«y

-L^^lle, Jkn.X 187f.'

To the Editor of Terre Haute Gazette: "A Friend of Blair's" (his brother, hare been 1& to believe) has taken ad vantage of our absence for a few days frorti'Terre Haute,-to make an attempt to create public opinion, in his (Blair's") {&• vor and against his emyloyers. This "Friend" loses sight of the fact that Blair's "high reputation" is about as se riously damaged by his "Friend" characterising this associate of his a "depraved prostiiute," as by the charge of theft to which he (Blair) has confessed. We are free to own that we know little distinction as to moral guilt between the man who spends evening after evening in the com pany of a "depraved prostitute" and one wlio purloins from Ms employer. We go a step tdrtherilnd declare we have nevfer known a young man who kept company of this kind, who, sooner or later, did not rob his employer if an opportunity was afforded.

We have no disposition, even in answer to this ill-timed and injudicious card of "a Friend of Blair's," to say a single harsh or unkind word of the accused.

We had hoped and predicted for him, a prosperous business career, and we were doing all in our power to push him ahead in our.business., We have .warned him unceasingly., against the temptations, which, when yielded to, make shipwreck of the characters ef soi many, of our young men, and especially did-we caution him against that particular road to ruin, that we have reason to believe is fully entered hpon when the door-of the wine room of the '.'Academy of Music" closes behind any young man.

So sad a termination of all our efforts for-Blair's-good, can-hardly grieve -any one more than it has grieved his employ ers, arid they would gladly escape, if pos silile, the unpleasant duty of prosecuting this case to a conviction. We need hardly add that before a breath of suspicion was whispered Jy ns against Blair, we had secured undoubted and uncontrovertible evidence of his guilt, and then, was, added to this, his own confession, made in the presence of an officer. We have too keen a sense of the value to a young man of an unspotted reputation, to ever act hastily, or on mere suspician, on matter of this kind

In justice to this Miss Robinson, it is only fair to say that she is a manied woman—her husband being with her—and that she claims to be a virtuous woman and that she took these only on the repre sentatipn of Blair that he was a member of the firm, and so able to make these presents.

To the public we wish to say, that we have discharged, from our employ, every clerk whom we had reason to believe Would ever be guilty in the future of at tending this "Ajcademy of Music," and all whom we may employ in time to come will have notice given them that thei services will be. no. longer required the moment we! hear of their doing it.

Very truly, yours, janll-dlt Foster Brothers.

A Book for Women.—Mr. Schmiedel who resides at the corner of Third and Mulberry streets is now soliciting sub scribers for a book that should be in the hands of every woman in the city. It is entitled the "Physical Life of Women advice to Maiden, Wife and Mother, by Geo. H. Napheys, A. M., M. D." It printed in English and in German. The latter contains an important chapter to German residents in this country. The peculiar topics treated of in this work, the delicacy with which they are handled the agreeable style, and the high moral tone, combine to render this the most en tertaining book of the day. 1 -J'i

Just iet buyers look at his stock, then see what an .immense number of instruments he has sold over a greater area of territory than any other House in the State.

FOR THE NEXT SIXTY DAIS

,F« *hall Exhibit the most Extraordinary -s

CONCENTRATION OF BARGAINS!

Ever heard of in Terre Haute.

The past history of our Store, although marked almost weekly by some great surprise to our customers, nevertheless does not furniih any parallel to tbe extraordinary inducements with which we inaugurate the new year.

OUR NEW YEARS GREETING!

As we glance back over the work accomplished in seven short monifi*, we arw sure our customers will not wonder at onr feeling a little elated at our unusual, but not to us, unexpected success. TFur'first visit to Terre Hrute convinced us that here, of all the cities in this State, was most needed a reform in the vicious system upon which the Dry Goods business was being conducted. The motto of this system was, "Secure the very largest profit possible on every dollar's worth of goods sold." We believed a change was needed and that the people would geeerooaiy support any firm who, disregarding the machinations of the old high-priced stores, would dare to write over their doors this opposite motto, Sell every dollar's worth rof goods at the smallest possible profit insistent with safe businen principles." In pursuance of this idea we marked out our course and have pursued it without fear fa or favor. We expected opposition, for we had been informed of the plans laid for our discomfiture. We were not even sure that this opposition might not take the form of personal violence, so when the high-priced stores took this way to bolster up their failing fortunes, we were hardly disappointed. [.
