FKRSOXAL.—We had the pleasure of a call from Mr. Chas. 8. Hall, tho courteous, gentlemanly and brilliant young local of the Evansviile Courier yesterday, who came to this city the evening before to attend the NiJsson concert, but in common with thirty others from that city, was disappointed.

How BHAUTIFCL.—Mr. Freeman has now 0:1 his ca-el a mo.-t beautiful and life-like portrait of a little twin boy who died but a few weeks ago in this For beautv of coloring
home with them. How beautiful is this, and what a truthful criticism to the genius of the painter! The dead are lost to lis f,.rever, but when, by tiie magic touch oi'(rue art, the little face of the lost one lives uirain on the canvas, the overwhelming sorrow for the departed is half assuaged.
Tin Terro Haure folks couldn't think of paying four dollars per capita, to hear Nilsson, and so the agent, came down and said lie would make the gallery at 81,00 whereupon, the people have decided to all go into the gallery. Others have concluded to forgo sweetening in their coffee for the next three months in order to be able to stand tho raise and see and hear the sweet Swede.—New Albihit/ Ledger.
In answer to the above, we will say that within twenty minutes after the sale of seats to tho Nilsson concert commenced, every four dollar seat was taken and in fortyjuinuteSjinore, the sale of the next choice of s^ats at three dollars, twelve hundred dollars' worth were sold while there was not a single seat sold in tho gallery, and had the "sweet Swede" kept her appointment, there would not have been a vacant seat in the Opera House. And further, our groceries keep none but the best coliee, and it does not need so much sweetening as that used in New Albany, therefore this question of sugar and coliee is not so much an item of taxation with us as with the people of that city. And the Ledger contradicts itself by saying that the Terre Haute people were all going into the gallery, and then saying that "others have concluded to forego sweetening, etc." We would like to inxuire of the Ledger how many would be left after ail go into the gallery.
Tun COUKTS.—Tho Criminal Court, ITon. Tlios. B. Long, presiding, was in session yesterday afternoon, as stated in our report of yesterday, engaged in trying the case of the Stale vs Anna Boyle, charged with grand larceny. After a hearing of the evidence, arguments, and instructions of tho Court, the jury retired and after being out for some time informed the Court it could not agree upon a verdict, and was dismissed and a new trial granted. It is -aid that eleven of the jury stood for conviction and one for aeqittal.
The case of the State vs. John Ryan, charged with breaking''into a car of the F. & C. Railroad some time since, was next called and tried by the court, and the evidence in behalf of the prosecution was heard, when the court, adjourned until this morning. When the court again convened, a compromise wase fleeted in the above case by the defendant pleading guilty to the charge and being awarded a term of one year in the penitentiary. Ar no on the court adjourned.
TI10 Mayor's Court,,Hon. G. F. Cookerl.v presiding, had four cases to adjudicate this forenoon:
La»t night about half-past ten o'clock, •flleer Vandever arretted a young man named Jake Whit more, lesidingon Second street, charged with abuing his sister and carrying concealed weapons, in the shapeof a pair of dangerous looking "brass knocks'" Vandever lodged him in jail, where he remained until this morning, when be was taken before His Honor, who fined and costed him in the um of $9.
Three dead beat drunks made up the balance of the business transacted there.
"LITTLE BILLS."—The following we 'ake from the Louisville Commercial. It is a well written article. The Express, of this city, produced it this morning as an editorial. Rather a clear' case of stealing, we think "Times are hard," "business dull," and •'money ti^ht.". Ton owe somebody, who owes
011.
You can't pay your debts be
cause those who owe you can't pay." You pay attdi for your goods and wares, and people who are live times as well off as you arc send in, buy what, they want and tell VDU to "charge it." You can't well reins -, for you are afraid of unsettling the dignity of your customer. Y011 must open an account with them or they won't deal with you. Suppose you do, what then? The month or quarter is up, and you send in your bill. The lady of the house eves it and tells the collector, "take it to my husband." He goes to husband, who says, "I'll show it to my wife," and a woo it afterward you go back, when he says "It's all right, I'll pay it." But when? Why after your collector or clerk has walked about eighteen miles, talked and begged twenty-iour hours of his life awav, and then trots snubbed by tho man who pays it. Now my advice to all such peoeple is to pay your biils or don't run in debt. It everybody would pay there would be a little nmro money in circulation, and trade would bo a little better in the city. One debt collected some times pays fifty others. It is these "little bills" that bothers us. You credit people who are. able to buy and sell all you've got, and it is harder work and more trouble to collect what they owe you than not sell to them at all. Go to some big concert, the niintrels, or other fashionable place of amusement', and j'ou'll llnd there, lots and scorrs of people who could'nt pay that little bill to-day," but they can find means to pay for "reserved seats'" every other night in the week, and put on more "airs"'after having eaten up your suiar, llour, groceries, fcc., than if they didn't owe a cent in the world. My advice, is to all suchpay for what you get, or do without it. It's the best plan, and you'll enjoy life I be an a a or in in he

The House has not gone to business upon .the Speaker's table during the present session Never before has six weeks of the short session passed without the House going to the table for reference to and action upon bills passed by the Senate. There are now fortyseven Senate bills upon the table, many of which are importaut, and will be passed if they could be separated from the twenty-three grant bills with which they are overlaid and interspersed. A majority of the House refuses to touch the pile on the table for fear'the land jobbers will succeed in getting through their schemes by making a combination of all members whose districts are interested in any proposed grants, with the solid carpet-bag vote, a large proportion being of the one hundred aud odd members whose Congressional career ends on the 4th of March. Meanwhile the friends of the land grants will not consent to have any bill taken from the table for action out of its order, and hope to force their opponents to begin at the top of the pile upon the Speaker's table, and work off all bills in the general rush on the last night of the session.

Ilalstead struck him powerfully in the forehead with his fist, bringing him sprawling to the floor, and following up the advantage gained until his antagonist said lie he had enough.

Subsequently a warrant was sworn out by Lavender, charging Halstead with assault and battery. The case will come up in court to-morrow.
Lavender doubtless provoked the assault. Nilsson reached here last evening, having recovered from her temporary indispasition.
