OLIVETTE.
The matinee performance of this popular opera by the Abott company did not v,draw a very* large audience, most of the opera-goers saving themselves -for the eveniBg when Miss Abbott appeared. A very satisfactory rendering of Audran'a beautiful work was given, and the numerous favorite moreeaux received mnch applause. The artists, Julie Rosewald and Louise Annandale, were received with great favor, and of coarse Mr. Castle was. Mr. A. Tarns made up and acted a good coqutliot. The choruses were sung with spirit, and the entertainment generally was worthy of a crowded house,
LUCIA DI LAMMKRMOOR.
The appearance of the great singer was the occasion of one of the gala nights that Terre Haute occasionally indulges in when desirous of honoring a special favorite, as Bmma Abbott happens to be. That this bright, amiable and gifted artiste should appear to any but a splendid house in this city can never be, or that our music-loving friends from Paris, Rockviile and elsewhere should fail to aesist.
Tbe beautiful opera of Lucia di Lammermoor, which was composed by Donizetti in 1835, is one of a half-dozen that out of sixty, still are presented season after season, and each of these, Don Pasquale, La Favorite, La Fille Du Regiment, etc. are marked by the same strong choruses, beautiful music and dramatic effects. The spirit and theme of the tragic story by Sir Walter Scott has been admirably given in the libretto, short as it is. It would be difficult to realize without hearing the opera, how wonderfully the slen der score is enlarged to a great tragedy by the wealth of music bestowed by the author and the admirable acting of its heroine. An added interest to the thrilling mad scene of the last act is that its great composer died in a mad-house.
The tamest scene and weakest chorus were tbe first, after which there was a gradual increase of power and intensity till the tragedy reached its climax in the realistic acting and thrilling music of Lucia and tragic end of Edgardo.
The hunting chorus was well given* followed by a fine solo by Stoddard as Henry Ashton, whose fine baritone, rich and even, carried its important part througn the opera with uniform harmony.
Tbe first appearance of Miss Abbott was the signal for a cordial welcome, and the cavatina, "Although Not Gifted Like the Wind," revealed, as of old, the same soft voice, with its silvery sweetness, dainty little tricks of song, and great

of prolonging tbe clear notes. The uets Edgardo (Fabrini) were most charming. Fabrifti is a very pleasing singer, and the fiue clear voice of the prima donna ran through his manly robust tenor like a thread of silver.
It was reserved for the second act to see Miss Abbott at her best. As Henry Ashton forces tbe hated Arthur upon the shrinking Lucia, the dramatic power of the singer was developed. The alternating resistance and despair were gradually shown and culminated in a telling burst of passion, the passage, "Thou who readest my soul,"
giving
full ecope to the
lyric talent of the artiste. At the falling of the curtain, as also in the preceding act, an enthusiastic audience called the singer to the front. The marriage scene was one of the effective groupings that distinguish this opera, introducing a splendid chorus, when entered the hapleaa bride in bridal dress with the glittering diamonds. The intense action at this point, the dramatic entrance of the dark, gloomy, Edgardo and the fine scene as he takes from Lucia the betrothal ring united to make this act one of most thrilling interest and to heighten the effect of the superb sextette which is one of the many gems of the performance.
In all of this the voices of the leading singers were bevend criticism, and the magnificent basso of Conly received especial notice. A prolonged storm of applause called tbe five principal singers before the curtain. The ever heightening interest culminated iu the celebrated mad scene in the third act, which was fitly opened by the solo in the grand basso of George A. Conly (Raimond). The appearance of Lucis, mad, the knife in hand, the realistic counterfeit by Miss Abbott of the heroine crsaed, her mind "like sweet bells jacgled out of time," wandering through wonderful snatches of song, hushed the house to painful stillness and then the splendid singer showed all her great abilities and rose to the crowning tour d* force,.shook from her bird-like throat every tender note and swelled to ringing bravura, that at its highest pitch showed no diminution of clearness and precision of voice. The curtain fell all loo soon on this her last great efiort, but a tempest of applause called out once more the smiling lady.
The closing scene was beautifully and appropriately set by the stage manager. The solo by Fabrina "Tomb of my Ancestars" was gives in fine voice with true expression and feeling. All the music falling to his part was fine, and faithfully interpreted, and his cloning "From These Fond Arms" made a fitting close to a perfect opera, which in its entire representation, whether in the stage groupings, choruses, arias by the members of the cast or orchestral accompaniments, left nothing to be desired. "MY PARTNER."
Louis Aldrich and Charles T. Parsloe will give this drama at the Opera House Monday night. The New York Sun says of it:
There have teen a great may dramas written, of which the material has been more or less Californian in its origin but the new play, produced last evening at the Union Square Theatre, is probably the best effort that has yet been made in that direction. California has long possessed a peculiar charm for dramatic writers, and they have drawn upon its inexhaustible resources freely by the aid of imaginations, to which in great part is due to-day the somewhat remarkable reputation that that State enjoys.
The leading character is taken by Mr. Lauis Aldrich, an actor of much force and effectiveness. He gives a strong representation of the honest miner, Joe Saunders, which is in part picturesque, occasionally strong and touching. Mr. Parsloe as Wing Lee, the Chinaman, was irresistable.
K. P. Reception.
The ninth anniversary of tbe organization of Occidental Lodge No. 18, Knights of Pythias, was celebrated last night, at the K. hall in the Beach block. Previous to the dancing, John T. McCoy, in a neat address, reviewed the history of the lodge from the date of its origin. Dancing wati then indulged in by the large crowd in attendance.
Railroad traveling agents have been remarkably scarce since the first of the year. They are engaged in getting their 1882 printing ready, and will be among as in all force before long.

RAILWAY NEWS.
Current Items in Bailroad Circles—Local and GeneraL
"WHAT J*YB KNOW?"
The Express haa published in the past few months, varions items of news concerning the Illinois Midland railway, gathered from numerous sonces. Similar items have been published concerning all the railways running in here, and such news was given freely by the different officers, agents, etc. These items have invaribiy been truthful, but Receiver Genis has taken a violent antipathy to the mention of the Midland in the railroad column. On no other grounds can the antipathy be explained, than the aforesaid truthfulness. Within the past few days he has issued an order to the effect that the Express reporter should be notified that-hereafter his room would be by far preferable to his company, and even went so far as to have one of the doors locked against him. When the Express man made his appearance yesterday afternoon in one of the offices—not Mr. Genis'—he was informed in as polite and gentlemanly a manner as possible of the edict issued against him. Not having any particular desire to be dropped from a second or third etory window, or to make a beautiful corpse, he withdrew in good style, covering his retreat in as graceful a manner as possible. In a very few minutes Mr. Genis called at the Express office to state that he had not issued any order whatever, as narrated above. The statement is given for what it is worth. The Express man has reason to believe that Mr. Genis issued such an order.
Tbe Midlend offices will ne'er more be illumined by tbe bright and smiling countenance of the Express commissioner, but the latter has procured a powerful field glass, and with the advantage of a good locatien to use the same, will hereafter furnish the Express patrons with the very latest news concerning the Midland and its affairs.
And this is what the Express knows. SOUTHERN ROADS. Earnings of railways in the southern states are increasing largely. The increase last year was $4,400,470, the growth being largely net earnings, which gained from $14,673,357 to $18,124,034, or about 22 per cent. The absence of ruinous rate ware among themselves is said to be the Eeoret of prosperity among southern railroads. By harmonious action they have fostered connecting lines and made them valuable instead of help!es\ The 13,548 miles of road in those states Btand at an average of $34,500 per mile, while tbe 15,881 miles in the middle states are rated at $83,500 per mile.
A NEW BEPOT AT INDIANAPOLIS. At the conference between the railroad officials and the city council at Indianapolis on Tuesday, it was decided to take immediate action looking toward the erection of a new union depot at that place. Committees were appointed to report at a meetiag on February 16th,
A few days ago we published a statement to the effect that the revenues ol the Illinois Midland railroad bad incieased largely under the receivership of Mr. Genis. It would be interesting to know how much the operating expenses of the road have increaeed, and hew much the property of the road has deteriorated without being replenished or repaired. Perhaps the reports of the receiver contain this information. Who knows?
In answer to tbe question, when are rales to be toned up, J. N. McCullough stated to a Journal reporter: "When that one man Vanderbilt gets ready. The Pennsylvania Company are ready to end the trunk line war to-morrow, but they will not give "up their manhood and all to satisfy the 'whims' of Wm. B. Vanderbilt, President of the New York Central."
General Manager Thomas, of the Bee Line and I. & St. L. system, states that, at their Cleveland shops, this year, they propose to turn out two freight engines per month of the same pattern as the Moguls which are doing such excellent service on the road.
Wm. Woods, formerly connected with the Vandalia and I. & St. L. roads, who has been visiting his home in this city, returned yesterday to Newton, Kansns. He is at present extra passenger conductor on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa fe road.
President Robinson, of the Troy & Boston road, objects to running trains over this road on Sunday, and, in fact, will let only express trains be moved on that day.
It seems to be generally conceded in railroad circles that President Mackey is to be president of the consolidated C. & I. and E. & T. H. interests.
Attorneys Green and Cres, of the Illinois Midland, were in the city yesterday, in consultation with Rrceiver Genis.
C. C. Pierce, jr., of the I. & St. L., returned yesterday morning from a trip to Buffalo and other eastern cities.
Superintendent Hepburn, of the E. & T. H„ came up from Evansville yesterday afternoon.
The I. & St. L. delivered eighteen carloads of car silla to the dr works yesterday.

The temperance red ribbon folks of Evansville are greatly excited over an attempt to seise the Evans Temperance Temple, and the hall in charge of the Woman's Chr Temperance Union. Tbe hall was erected five years ago at a cost of 19,000, and sinee then the .expenses, all told, have increased this to
$29,000.
Of this sum $Z1,000 has been paid. The hall is in charge of a board of trustees, who became re* sponsible, individually, for the debt About ten days-ago the trustees notified the Red Ribbon Club that they did not intend to be responsible for another dollar after that date. Theclvb have the right, by the deed, to use the hall at any time, having the highest authority, but this action of the trustees was a dampener. They appointed a committee to consult the trustees as to what Should be done. That committee met with closed doors, bat arrived at no definite conclusion. It is now rumored that the Woman's Christian Temperance Union have decided to take the hall from the trustees, in the name of the temperance people, assume the indebtedness and use the hall as a headquarters during the coming campaign, to assist in the cause of prohibition. The Red Ribbon Club are opposed to this, and in consequence are greatly excited. Further developments are looked for with anxiety.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18,1882. A communication was received from the Secretary of the Treasury, in responBe to the Senate resolution as to the present rates of duties irrprsed by France, Germany and Mexico upon American manufactures.
Davis, of Illinois, from the committee on judiciary, reported back favorably the bill to permit Ward Hunt, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, to retire. He gave notice that he would ask its consideration tomorrow.
Cameron, of Pennsylvania, from the Committee on Naval Affairs, reported a resolution for the examination by that committee of the new system of naval defense invented by Captain J. Ericson, and a report thereon adopted.
Anthony from the Committee on Naval Affairs reported favorably the bill authorizing the compilation and printing of the naval history of the war.
Blair offered a resolution instructing tbe Committee on Public Lands to inquire into the administration of the land laws and systems, their operations in the practical disposition of lands, and any abuses and hardships which may exist in their administration, and to repoit facts and recommeotlation? adopted.
The remainder of the morning hour was occupied by Brown in remarks upon the currency question, hiB text being his resolution declaring the inexpediency of contracting the currency by'the withdrawal of the silver certificates.
Brown argued to prove that tbe movement to stop the coinage of silver dollars was wrong that instead of the ratio of the United States between gold and silver being too low, it was too high, and that the intrinsic and commercial value of the precious metals were not the same. He also declared that the coinage of silver in this country had not driven out gold, but had the reverse effect.
When Brown concluded his speecb, his resolution went over, and the Senate took up Sherman's funding bill and it was diecucsed by Morgan, Beck snd Bayard, at some length. At the conclusion of Morgan's addreas the bill wss informally laid aside and bills were introduced acd leferred as follows:
By George, to encourage agriculture and manufactures. It proposes to repeal all the duties and imports now laid on machinery for the manufacture of cotton or woolen goods, or goods composed of hemp or jutf also, all tools of mechanics which are used solely in manual labor also, on all agricultural implements, and on all iron cotton ties.
By Ferry, relative to tbe compensation of letter carriers. This bill provides that the salaries of first class carriers, who have been in the service one year, shall be $1,000, and those of second class carriers $900 per annum. In all cities of less than $75,000 people there shall be but one class of carriers at a salary of $850 per year. Provision is made for third grade carriers, to be known as auxilliaries, at salaries of $600 per annum for the first year's service and $700 thereafter. It is also provided that on the application of tbe Postmaster of any city, one or more substitute letter carriers sbalf be appointed, whose compensation shall be dollars per year, and a pro rata of the compensation of carriers in whose places they may serve.
Messages from the President were ^re* ceived transmitting for the consideration of Congress communications from the Secretary of tbe interior, including the draft of a bill to accept and ratify tbe agreement with the Crow_ Indianj for the sale of a portion of their reservation in Montana Territory required for the Northern Pacific railroad, and to make the necessary appropriations to carry the same iato effect.
The Senate then went into executive session, referred the nominations received to-d?y, and adjourned.
THE HOUSE.
WASHINGTON Jan. 18, 1882. Haskell, from the Committee on Indian Affairs, reported a bill for the Bale of the lvnd of the Miami Indians, in Kansas.
Haskell moved that all bills for Indian depredation claims, that are before tbe Committee on Claims, be referred to the Committee en Indian Affairs. He stated that the Committee on Claims was completely buried under work, having over 600 bills referred to it. The chairman of the latter committee being absent, tbe matter went over without action.
Stephens, from coinage committee, made & report on tbe subject of metric coinage recommitted. The repo is in favor oi a bill to authorize a mctric coin for irternational uee, to be known as the "Stella," and of a bill to unthorize the coinage of tbe goloid metric dollar, two dollars, and fractions of a dollar also for the coinage of a metric double eagle, and half eagle all of standard value.
Willis offered a resolution calling on the President for information as to the execution of section 1,753 Revised Satutes, for the promotiou of the efficiency of the civil service, and whether the $15,000 approprited is sufficient for the purpose reterred.
Neal offered a resolution for printing 3,000 copies of the report of the Guiteau trial for the use of House referred.
Burrows asked leave to introduce, for immediate consideration a bill defining the qualification of Territorial delegates, making any person guilty of bigamy or polygamy ineligible. Objection being made, the bill was withdrawn.
The House resumed the consideration of the report of the Committee on Rules, proposing an increase the membership of certain committees, the pending question being on Orlh's substitute, fur the appointment of a board to select committees.
Robecon made tbe point of order th*t tbe substitute was not germ sine to the original proposition, because the substitute applied to tbe nsxt House and not this, and because it embraced matter not in the original proposition.
A long discussion ensued, eadiog final-
ly in a decision sustaining Robeeon's point and the substitute waa ruled oat of order.
King offered an amendment relating to the Committee on Improvement of the Mississippi River, providing that it ahall have the same privileges in reporting appropriations for tha improvement of that river as are accorded to the Appropriation Committee in reporting genesal appropriation bills. He spoke in support of tbe amendment, as bearing on the question of cheap transportation.
Dunn opposed the amendment, arguing that tha question of improving the Mississippi river belonged to the Committee on Commerce.
Thomas advocated the amendment, and said there was no reason why the Committe on Commerce should have charge of the question, unless the object WBB to make the appropriations for tbe Mississippi river carry through the House the river and harbor appropriation bill. He asserted that the commerce of the Mississippi river was twenty-five time greater than the whole foreign commerce of the United States, and that bj the projected improvement transportation would be cheapened 33 per cent.
Springer advocated theamendment,and appealed to the Eastern members to give to tbe interests of the great Mississippi Valley the special committee provided for in the amendment
Turner also advocated the amendment, and suggested that the committee should also have jurisdiction of the Ohio and other navigable tributaries of the Mississippi.
Kenna asked Turner whether he had ever voted for an appropriation for sny river.
Turner retorted that the gentleman [Kenna] when a member of the Committee on Commerce, seemed to regard no interest except that of West Virginia, and that he [Kenna] voted for appropriations for streams that should have been macadamized. [Laughter.]
Dawes offered an amendment specifying the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. After an extended debate, and without disposing of tke matter, the House adjourned.

WOOL MARKET.
From Walter Brown & Co.'s Wool Circular. BOSTON, Jan. 14,1882. Since the opening of the year the wool mar* ket has been very firm on all classes of wool with a steady demand, particularly on flue Ohio and Michigan fleeces. Advices from the Interior indicate that the amount of fine washed fleeces still held back is quite small, and considerably less than a year ago, and it ia evident that the bulk of sueh wools available for the next four or five months is now in the seaboard markets.
The latest reports from foreign markets show a strong position and llttla probability ol far* ther importations except on a higher basis here. The direct shipments from Australia now foot up 10,000 bales, or about 4,000,000 lbs. These wools have mostly been bought for manufacturers' account, and probably but a small portion will appear on the market
In medium grades of wool there is no material change since our lsst report There is but little demand except for strictly half blood wools, low medium being but little sought after we think however, the prospects favor abetter enquiry for this class within a few weeks. Coarse wools oontinue to be neglected, and there seems to be no hope of their being in better request for some time to come, except lor blanket and carpet purposes.
The general aspect of the woolen goods market seems favorable for a maintenance of values both for the raw material and manufactured article, and we see no reason to anticipate other than a strong market with a steady and satisfactory trade during the next few weeks.
