TERRE HAUTE DEC. 31, 1892.
THE TWO CALENDARS.
The year is going, and we who are forsaken part without a gbudder from that Invisible Associate named "1892," who had just stood the world company in one of her short rounds. It is like the scene at some great pedestrian contest, where, toward tho close of the week's long jourv xiey, as the hollow-faced champion comes before the reckoning plnce, afresh young athlete springs out beside tho man who has been trudging a hundred miles a day. With fire and purpose the athlete animates the weary one to the usual greatspeedja single round, how ever, serving to undo the prompter and make way for the next ambitious amateur. The earth must hold her way among tho stars, though tho years go to their tent one.after another, the •ory coucoptious of weariuoas and exhaustion.
The glance of the man of business fallH often on the old Calendar. There it ha-s hung for iifty two ^veeks, perhaps lowing a leaf each month, with "December" now Muttering on tte^naked tree and ready to drop into the centuries, not even as noisy with fallen eloquence as tho leaves of the winter's forest.
Perhaps each day has been crossed off an it expired by impatient youth, evor the aggressive foe of time, yet ever to be vanquished.
r^re
lingers such a Cal
endar—some Moabite stone, but deeper in myHtery—some algebraical device, whore every equals a yoaterday.
Now coines tho bright new Calendar, announcing that, promptly at the close of to-day at midnight, ytho Nevv V"'will npring Into the Ecliptic, full o' promise. Tho unthinking may com pare his froshnoss with tho weary look of time who will welcomo tho new comer and yot It must always be tho same old tale—a single round, and a gapping rolreat into oblivion.
Upon the figures of this beautiful Joining of the printer's fancy, and the fashion's form—thin Calendar of 18fW wo may read the usual rod lot tors of our time: A
Sow
Year's, an Unusual
Washington's birthday festival,a Decoration, a Natal (f&y for the man and for hf* country, another Thanksgiving, and another Chrlstihas. Between the fig urofi we may see some other doings of men--tho exaltation of the now Prostdenf-, the beginning of ne§w regime, the splendor of a World's Columbian Exposition, and the sitting of a unv Cottgl'OHM,
Bui may wo not, by peering with our inmost wi«ht, likewise boholdourselves, on «ueh day, comforting tho dtatressed, on suoh another gh tug of on.' monoy to tho friend whom adversity has overwhelmed, and on yet another striving a little less openly for something vHilch should be accorded to us, If at all, without our earnest solicitation? Unapproaohod by the corroding finger, these figures of the days are trained in little squares. How handsomely would each stand forth upon a back-ground of kind words for every fellow -creature!
TilKHK is a proposition on foot to abolish tho otllee of county assessor when tho legislature meets. The office was created by tho last legislature aud pays throe dollars per day for the time actually employed. Tho argument used against the law Is that the official nearly always manages to draw his pay for the full time, and that in many cases he would likw to put in JSunday. Some people have an idea that men run for office for the exercise there is in it, and the hope that the excitement incidental to a campaign will Improve their health. This Is a mistake. Men nowadays run for office for the money there is In it, no matter to which party they belong, and he who doesn't make money when the sun shine* is considered a fool byk his follows, and rightly too. The man who wants
to nbolish
an office because It is
filled bv men who want to make out of it all the law allows them is too narrow minded for his day and generation, aud should be confined out of harm's wav\

AMUSEMENTS.
b*
The screaming farce comedy ^Skipped by the Light of the Moon" will be pre ted at the opera house on Monday, two performances, matinee and evening. No matter how deep seated may be the blues, "Skipped" will banlab tbein. Tbe piece is a very laughable one—neither comedy nor tragedy, but in a bnndio of absurdities generously supplied with musical eccentricities, and it gives every member of tbe cast an opportunity to exeiclee his or her ability to the best advantage. It abounds in laughable, side splitting situations and tbe audience is kept in a roar of laughter from the time the curtain rises until ii falls upon the last act. The play has recently been revised and many new features and mueb new music have been introduced for this season's tour, and in its new shape it is said to be funnier than ever. 8eats now on sale.
"THE TAB AND TARTAK"
One of the best comic operas since "Erminie" will be theattraction at Naylor's on Wednesday evening, January 4th. Tbe popular opera will be given by a notably strong company of 65 people. The cast Includes such clever artists as Anna Myers, Matilda Cottrelly, Greta Risley, Annie Segalini.Louiso Broks, H. M. Ravenscroft, Fred Frear, Charles Meyer," Robert Watson and Harry D/ Chase. The Tar and Tartar relates the adventures of Muley Hassan who was cast irp by tho sea, became Shltau with four hundred fair creatures as wives, was pursued, haunted and hunted down by a termagent wife, and who altogether had more experience iu th^ course of one life than a Chicago drummer. Fred Frear assumes the role of Miiley Hassan the shipwrecked sailor and whilom Sultan of Morocco and makes it funny all through from start to finish. Tho expression of bis face when he loams that ho*has 1,313 babies left over from the last administration is alone worth the price of admission. Matilde Cottrelly, for many years a McCaull favorite, is the termagant wife. Alpaca, Tho scene of her meeting with her husband In tho second act Is one of the cleverest things in the opera. Annie Myers, another big comic opera favorite, ip also an important member of the company. She was in the original production of tlio opera during its long run at Palmer's Theatre, New York, and created quite a furore by her singing of "Dixie" in the medley o£ National and popular airs, which is one of the big features of. the opera. The point is, e? course, to make a kaleidoscope arrangemonkot this kind as humorous a poasi ble, and this the composer has done very skillfully. The audience is. tantalized in a laughable way. One hears the majestic stratus of "God Save the Queon," then suddeutly copies a rollick tug Irish air, then abruptly riso the ex a I tod notes of the "Star Spangled Banner" but before the oar has fairly caught them they are overcome by tho saucy and piercing fifo and drumming of "Yankee Doodle" and "Way Down South iii .Dixie." All these and others are interblendedandcommingled in deft and comical fashion and the audience iu every instance re-domanded the medley until the singers are fatigued. The company carry their own sconory. Tho first act represents the sea coast near the city of Morocco, the second, the court yard of tho Sultan's palace, and tho third the roso garden of the Saragito. Among the musical numbers are "I want a Situation," "The Chink of Gold." "The Lullaby." "Comes a Birdie a Flying," and others equally^as catchy. Seats *n sale Monday moruing. At the solicitation of manager Hay man tho management of tbe Tar and Tartar have agreed to the following prices: All dovn stairs $1.00 first three rows in family circle 75c. Admission 50 and 25 upstairs.
THEODORE THOMAS.
The musical event of tho Reason will be tho Theodore Thomas concert in tbe opera house on Tuesday evening, Janu arv 10. Tho Thomas orchestra has made and sustained for years a reputation which has never been equalled by auy other similar organization. This season the company consists of sixty performers, all of whom will be here. The pro gramme will be given later.
NOTES.
Manager Hayman, of the opera house, has refitted and refurnished the office uutil it is now one of the handsomest and best apportioned in the city. In addition he has invested largely in new stage furniture and stage belongings, and is doing all in his power to please the amusement going people of iTerre Haute.
In speaking of the superstitions of a tors, the Philadelphia Times has the following, which is real news hereabouts: "Clara Qualitst, the* premiere clanseuse of 'The Isle of Champagne,' carries a rusty harseshoo with lier npon all her travels. This she hangs upon a nail in her dressing room. She Bays it always insures good luck to her. As a proof of this, sbo declares that the only mishap which has occurred to mar any of her performances in this country was on the occasion wjfaen the rusty horseshoe was not hung up in her dressing room. She carries it in a small satchel, with some necessary toilet articles. One night at Terre Haute, Ind., the satchel was not delivered at the theater1» time for the performance. In the midst of her most artistic effort she slipped'and sat down upon the stag*-, ruining the entire effort of her dancing Shecharaeterited the mishap at Terr© Halite as very rotting.'"
