TERRE HAUTE, DEC. 16, 1882
NBVBK was there a time when prscti cal benevolence occupied a wider field than now or cultivated it with better resalts. There is no class of unfortunates, no condition of suffering humanity whose needs are not ministered to by noble men and women. A noteworthy manifestation of this spirit is seen in a new movement for the education of the blind by means of books in raised letters. To be sure these books are no new thing, but heretofore they have been so costly ss to be excluded from the roach of many of this class of unfortunates, Now, however, sn association has been formed for furnishing home teaching, and a froe public library to the blind. Its library already consists of the Bible in sixty-five parts, and over 250 volumes in the various departments of literature The system can be learned easily, and the alphabet and a learner's reading card will be forwarded to any applicant who incloses ten cents to J. P. Rhoads, 701 Walnut streot, Philadelphia. The different volumes of the library will be sent free to all applicants who are willing to pay the ]ostage ou the books The enterprise is a purely benovolent one, and has the warm endorsement ot the United States Commissioner of edu cation, which is a sufficient guaranty of the integrity of those engsged in the movement.
MB. HOWRLLS being taken somewhat severely to task in literary circles for the statement made in his article on Henry James, Jr., to the effect that the new school of fiction, represented by Mr. James is superior to that of Thsckery and IMukens, admits thst he made a mistake and promises to writeau article in which full atonement will bo mado and in which bis sincere admiration for those great writers will bo Indicated. Whatever Mr. Howells may say now it will difficult for him to mako his readers believe that be did not express his honost sentiments in tho former statement, •which cam« as his first impulse.
But then Mr. Howells has tho same right to his opinlonM that others have and If he considers tho now, bloodless diltitante echool ot fiction superior to that which exhibits somo play of human passion, bis reader* aro not oblig«d to agree with him unless they choose, atid the majority probably will not choose to.
WiiILK Patti was singing to a $ 10,000 house In New York recently, Nilsson gave acoueert at Stein way Hall, tho receipts of which were |6,000, and Mrs. L&ngtryjwas closing a four keeks' engagement, tho gross receipts of which wore over *10,000. There is probably no other city in the world where money is made so fast and spont so lavishly as New York. Not thst it is a matter for Americana to be particularly proud of. On thoooutrary it would without question be better for the great metropolis and for the country if tho fact were otherwise. Too much money in the hands or tho few is getting to be the great curse of thisns it ha* beeu of older countries Tho gulf between the very rich and the very poor is growing wider every year, and the bond of aympatbyis correspondingly weakened. It is easy to see the evil, but it hard to diMXver a romedy for it. Perhaps as our social system IH now constructed there is no remedy.
APTKR advising with his lawyers Dr. Bliss finally made up his tniud to se•eept theftt.MX) allowed him by the board of audit for |his »*rvlo*s in President Garfield ca*e. TLo doctor pursued the part of wisdom in so doing. The allowance was not perhaps extravagant, but neither ought it to have been. The notion that when •ervless are rendered •for the public they ought to be paid for large exems of the price paid for similar services rendered In private life Is manifestly wrong and should not be tolerated. The allowance will strike the public mind as being ceitainly ample. Indeed the only drcum-iance which gtw* It any appearance of inadequacy is the extraordinary sums claimed by the physicians.

TK*"Jersey Lily" is fast losing one element which would seem to belong to snch a name—her reputation. She is now the subject of scandalous stories to an extent that may interfere with her receipts at the theater as well as with her lair name. Indeed, if
what
Tns Chicago Board of Trade telegraphed Vice President Davis that they favored the passage of the Lowell bankruptcy bill, arid there seems to be a general demand for a judicious bankrupt law by business men generally throughout the country. The increasing number of failures would seem to render such a law desirable. The 8enste has sccordingly adopted the Lowell bill as a substitute for the bill reported by the judiciary {committee. Tho Lowell bill was carefully drawn up by an able judge who has had long experience in bankruptcy proceedings and is probably as nearly perfect as such a bill can be made. It remains 10 bo seen what action the Mouse will take in the matter, but there is somo probability that such a law will be passed at the present session of Congress.
IN bis very elaborate report just issued the National Commissioner of Railroads makes the atutement that the
Tnited States have cheaper railroad transportation than any other country in the world. This is in the nature of pleasant Information, but it does not satisfy the desire of tho people to have still cheaper railroad fares If such a thing is practicable, and there aro certain facts which load them to Iwlleve that it is practicable. __________ "DYINO In the poor farm house,'' says dispatch from Milwaukee, in regard to John F. Potter, who attainod such notoriety in 1800, when occupying a seat in Congress and boing challenged by ltoger A. Prior, named lo\vie knives snd a locked room as the plaee of battle.
THE PASSING SHOW.
SHOWS AND SHOW FOLKS.
Tho Rentjs-Santlcy troupe had a fair" sized audience Monday evening. The bald-heads aro beginning to find out that the nautlness of this party is altogether in tho posters and lithographs, which are somewhat deceiving, for a clean and neat variety entertainment constitutes the performance.
Pat Hooney's party played to a delighted audience Thursday evening. Pat is certainly the boss Irishman now on the stage, and he has a corps of specialty performers with him capable of giving au excellent evenings entertaiument.
In "Our Breakfast Tfcble" the KelloggBrignoll concert last night is discussed. The many admirers of Miss Fanny Kellogg will be pleased to learn that her company will render the Bohemian Girl hots in English before the dose of tbs season.
The recent appearance of Barlow, Wilson Co'a minstrels was of such enthusiastic nature ss to cause return visit next Wednesday evening, when all the members of the company will apwith new attractions added. It is pear this an unusua ly strong compauy season, |»arUcnl«rly in the vocal s»d in strumental departments. An eullre new programme is announced. Of course they will have a big audience, for have yet to record the tii»o when Terre Hante people went back on a minstrel show.
The spectacular drains of "The W orkP will he placed on the opera bouso stage next Friday evening, and on Saturday afternoon and evening. It will be membeced that jtwt one year ago this piece was played to the most successful patronage known to the history of the stage bete, It requires little or no introduction to our amusement seekers* other than to mention that improvements have been made in toe Mage machinery that add materially to the effective working of the spectacle.

her former
friend, Mrs. Labonchere, says fa true, Mrs. Langtry is not now for the firat time the subject of unpleasant gossip According to this lady, when the Lily married Captain Langtry he was the heir of a great estate, which soon afterwards A«mA into his hands and was quickly squandered. As usually happens in such marriages there was no longer compatibility between the pair, and they separated, Mrs. Langtry taking up with cer tain men whose intimacy brought her into reproach. At Mrs. Labonchere suggestion she went upon the stage and bad gratifying success and was finally brought by Abbey to this country. The present scandal grows out of her association with a young nabob of New York, named Gebhart, who is reputed to have an income of $80,000 a year from property inherited from bis fsther, and manages to kill time by driving fast horses of which he keeps a fine stud. After monopolizing the Lily during her engagement in New York, Gebhart followed her to Boston, where he ejected from her private box and from the greenroom of the theater where Mrs. Langtry was playing. As a matter of course the gossip is not of an agreeable character, and the manager of the theater plainly told her that such proceedings could not be continued. All this may furnish food for the awful English newspapers.
