Jornn E. OWEXS, unquestionably, atands without a rival in the iloeof business be maaya. His remarkable facial expression Is one of bis greatest aids in the portrayal of genteel comedy end quaint farce. It is not by worda or aonnds alone tbat the idea of the lodicrooa may be conveyed to tbe mind. There are forms and postoreaand more-, in en La, tbat in themselves express tbe keenest humor. We sometimes see in every day life persons whose every position of body, or movement of eye, month, bands or toot, is essentially fancy. Abont railroad depots and on tbe ears, wbere all phases of humanity are indiscriminately mingled, such living witiciams are most frequently to be found. It is tWs peculiar faculty—this hmnorof motion—that contributes so largely to the eueeesa of Mr. Owens. The large and appreciative andiences gathered at tbe Opera Honse on .Wednesdy and Thursday evenings testify tbat be has lost none of bis popularity sine* tbat opening nigbt when our people assembled to find "Owens seventy miles away 1"

Thurs­

day evening about four o'clock, James P. Johnson, of tbe firm of Bowser it Johnson, was found dead in bis room, opposite tbe Terre Haute House, to which he was seen to retire at nine O'cloek tbe evening previous. He had performed bis usual duties at the store during tbe day, and parted with friend on tbe Terre Haute House corner just before entering his room, In apparent good health. There i« every evidence that death came in tbe form of apoplexy, 'immediately on entering tbe room. He bad not undreseed, snd bis bat was lying under bis head, where it had dropped as he fell.

Tbe body was removed to the residence of bis brother-in-law, 8. C. Soott, wbere the funeral services were held this morning, in tbe presence of a large circle of mourning friends.

Poor Jim I How the heart aches, as the thought cornea oftbat struggle with death, alone at nigbt, when so many loving friends would have been too ready to render aid, and if possible, ward off tbe gum monster. -ii—

ADOXJ*K FABRICIUS is dead. Death capae on Thursday mornlug after sn illness of ten day*. At the early age of thirty one years, just it* he had perma nently established bis newspaper, tbe Banner, after five years bard labor, he had to yield, and a wife and two children are widowed and orphaned. Mr. (•'. was one of the most amiable of gentleman, a good citizen, an Indefatigable worker. Indeed it is claimed that his life has been sacrificed by overwork, in the laudable ambition, just con*u mated, of placing his paper upon a paying basis. Suoh men are greatly missed in the oommunlty.

T*B END !—Jaat Saturday, at Belleville, IlHuols, K. B. Sand ford, of Paris, brother of tbp President of the Paris A Danville railroad, deliberately threw himself under the wheeifof a passing looomotive and was crashed to death, ft will be remembered tbat some years ago be killed a gambler in this city, known as John C. Hoenan. By some technicality, not now remembered, he escaped punishment of the law, but has si nee gone from bad to worse, pandering about the country, remorse gnawing at bl.1 conscience, until the end came as above stated. Verily "thou ahalt net kill."

SEWERAGE.—That sewerage ghost will not down. Last Tuesday evening Councilman Clift brought up his resolu tions again, preceding the same with some humorous remarks. Hager wanted to refer the subject to Cols. Thompson and Baird, Milligan thought this weuld be a waste of money, Brldentbal thought it safe to go by tbe decision of City Attorney Williams and after a deal of wrangling, it was determined by a vote of eight to one to build the 514 feet sewer, and issue 9100,000 in city bonds. This settles the matter—until tbe next meeting.

ON Thursday evening next, under the auspices and for the benefit of tbe Read ing Room Association, Col. Thompson will deliver a lecture at Dowling Hall, on the "Relation of Capital and Labor." This is to be the first of a series of lectures from our leading cltizena, as suggested by Tbe Mail some weeks since Let there be—but, of course there will be a large audience—there always is when Col. Thompson has anything to say.

•f From Wataon'a Art Journal.} THE STECK PIANO.

The Gold Medal Awarded to the Piano of George Steek and Cb., by the Imperial Oomnnszion of the Vienna Opposition.

The information of the result of the action of the Imperial Commissioners was conveyed to George Ste«-k A Co., in the following letter flrona tli American Commissioner:

VIESSA, Dec. 13,1873.

GSO. STKCK, ESQ., 8ir:—I have the pleasare of Informing yoa that I this day received from the Barou Nchwarz-Senborn a Gold Medal awarded to yon for the Pianos exhibited by yoa at the Vienna Exposition. I hold the medal antyect to yoor oitler.

If not delivered to your order, I will take it with me to New York, where I expect to arrive som* time in the month or February.

Very respectfully yours, THOMAS MACELRATH, U.

8.

Commissioner.''

The importance of thia award will be better understood when it is known that the first award of tbe Jury,4ras peremptorily refused, and tbe case was referred to the Imperial Commission. It waa well known in Vienna that tbe professors, critics,and nearly the whole circle of amateurs, pronounced the Steck plaaos, grand, parlor grand, square and upright, the best instruments of the hundreds of planes iu competition in tbe Exposition building and it was fully expected tbat tbe highest honor in the gift ef the Jury would be awarded to George Steck & Ce. That these expectations were not confirmed was due, it was well understood, to tbe curiously composite character of tbe Jury.

The Imperial Commission, however, with its superior powers, reconsidered the action of the Jury, and the result was thisthat while tbe awards in tbe power of the Jury to confer were: 1st. Diploma of Honor. 2d. Medal of progress —Bronze. 2d. Medal of Merit —Bronze. 3d. Diploma of Merit. The Imperial Commission,after earnast and Intelligent deliberation, conferred upon George Steck A Co., for their pianos, the superior honor of a GOLD MEDAL, an honor transcending any award in tbe power of tbe Jury to confer.

We sincerely rejoice in this remarka ble triumph, for we are satisfied it was righteouslv won. Thu •anosof George Steck A Co. aro un assed in their sterllngezcellence,bj /instruments made in this country, and the result which we have chronicled proves that they have no superiors in Europe, and seemingly no equal.

L. KISSNER, of the Palace of Masic, is agent for the abovo piano, in tbia city.

Who is that infatuated young man who comes from Terre Haute to llrazll and rehearses Granger speeches to the trees?

It is thought by some that Sol Gundelflnger and Squire Reed are twins. There is a remarkable unanimity of opinion regarding the weather, which is a fruitful theme of conversation to persons who are just getting acquainted.

AH an evidence tbat Brazil people have a good heavy drawbacks to contend against it is only necessary to mention one instance. It has been ascertained by actual count tl»at there are fifteen doctors residing and practicing within the city limits.

The Echo, Enterprise and Minerare engaged in a triangular squabble, and vary the monotony of journalistic life by calling each othet liars, if they continue it people will begin to believe there is some truth in their assei tions.

If tbe principal of the city school has such a mean opinion of the people who employ him, that be can and does go before a magistrate and swear that he cannot get justioe at tbe bands ef a Jury of twelve men taken from among them, it seems aa if self-respect would suggest to him tbe propriety of his resigning the position.

Well, grass is green. Tbe idea ofgrarfs growing in tblitown in the month of February. It goes to prove however that Brazil is bound to keep up with the rest of the world in matters that are spontaneous and cost nothing in either enterprise or money. Oh, for a spontaneous growth of water reservoir, sufficient to induce capital to come here.

The first ball of the Brazil Mwnnerchor Society came off Tuesday night ai Kllnger's Hall, and tbe clinking of glasses and tbe pleasant gurgle, gurgle of the beer as It disappeared minglea with the sounds of i.he music anu the shuffling feet. The boys cil enjoyed It.

A man was observed to go into one of our hardware stores and push both his hands to the wrists iaasack of clover seed, then withdrawing bis bauds he rubbed tbem vigorously through his hair, and walked out of the store,his face beaming with hope.

The boys who went to Terre Haute to the Masquerade Tuesday night had a good time.

One Of tbe papers in town intimated tbat Jim Shaw bought tbe Bowling Ureen livery stable for political purposes. As he has since sold it does it not follow tbat It was sold for political purposes or possibly—for money

Americans are as capable of making balls as Irishmen. Ben Pell, of Harmony, was at the dance Tuesday nigbt and said that the first thing he knew when be cams to himself, was that be was setting in a chair aieep.

A countryman went into a dry goods store In town and asked for a package of "rat lnvlgorator." Tbe proprietor referred blm to a drag store in tbe same block.

A man and a doctor (so called) was called to answer this week before tbe mayor on cbarge of having choked his wife and otherwise matreated her. Tbe doctor (asaforesaid) Is a regular contributor to the Manufacturer and Miner, as an advocate to the rights of working men.
