Tho value of the beats was nest settled. Two cubs, about as large as a "black and tan," were smothered to death while being snipped by rail. The jury awarded damages to the plaintiff in the sum of $900—$450 for each little bear. A bear, therefore, in that latitude, is worth more than twice as much as a child of four summers.

ORIAITA.—The second appearance of MissLizzette Bernard in the character of Oriana, at Dowling Hall last evening was not so largely attended as we had hoped, although there was a fair attendance. But when we take into consideration the extraordinary number of entertainments of this kind with which our city has been favored this season, we are not surprised that this most excellententertainment is not more liberally patronized. Under any other circumstances Miss Bernard would draw an immense audience. Her part of the programme of last evening was rendered in her usually matchless style and with her accustomed success. She was again frequently applauded and withal acquitted herself in the most faultless mauner. Mis* Minnie Cook, in personating the character of Ellinor Abingdon, rendered her part in the play in a most commendible manner and won the admiration and applause of the audience. Mr. R. C. Grierson also distinguished himself, while W. T. Melville personated T. Twiggs Snaffleton in a very credittble manner and was greeted with frequent ourbursts of applause.

This afternoon, Miss Bernard makes her third and last appearance in the character of Oriana in this city, upon which occasion there is a pretty fair audience, after which herself and VV. H. Leake go to St. Louis, where she will "star" at DeBar's Opera House Monday night.

BRBACII OF PROMISE.—The great breach of promise case of Humastonvs. McGregor, is set down for trial the 12th of March. The following is a list of the witnesses summoned oil the part of defendant R.

The case is exciting very much interest in certain circles of society.

A RIDDLE EXPLAINED.—Our popular and genial friend T. H. Riddle, offers some of the best bargains in the way of jewelry, notions and fancy goods that have ever been offered in this city. Having determined to go East in a few days for a new stock, he offers his present stock at astonishingly low prices. How he can afford to give such good bargains has long been a riddle that many have vainly endeavored to explain. The reason is this He buys for cash, gets a good article, Iet3 the world know he has it, through the medium of the press, and always gives satisfaction, because his goods are just what he represents them, and that's the "reason why."

NILSSOX.—Knowing the interest all our readers feel in the movements and welfare of Mile. Nilsson, we clip the following from the Chicago Times of yesterday:

Mile. Nilson, assibted by Brignoli, Vie ux temps, Miss Annie Louise Gary and Verger, is to give one concert at Farwell Hall, oil Monday evening. The general admission is fixed at §2 a seat, with reserved seats at §1 and $2 extra. This will be Nilseon's last appearance in Chicago.

We would advise the Post to see that there are no piano-stools on the stage, in Miss Nilsson's way, this time, as she is not in a first-class kicking condition since her severe sickness at Cincinnati, which was supposed to have been brought about by kicking that piano-stool off ofthe stage at Chicago, of which mention was made in tiie Post.

WANTS Us To "REMODEL."—A short time after the GAZETTE "went to press" yesterday afternoon, we were invited lown into the business office from our sanction with the very startling announcement that a lady wished to see us. Of course we blacked our boots and combed our hair, and went down with "great expectations" to see what fair lady was honoring us with a call. Imagine our consternation upon being ushered into the presence of a very indignant looking female, who deliberately took from under her shawl a copy of the GAZETTE of yesterday, and asked us if we wrote an article therein contained, entitled "Gift Enterprise Swindle." AVe informed her that we did, whereupon she asked us to "remodel it," declaring that the enterprise was her own and not James Chambers', etc., etc., and that she would give us until this afternoon to "remodel" the article, as she expressed it, threatening libel, etc., as a consequence of a failure to comply with her demands. We assured her that it did not make any difference who owned it, that we would not "remodel" it, as we are prepared to support our charge with the proof, if necessary.

We now have in our possession an article from the Tuscola, (Ills.) Journal and Charleston Courier, giving an account of their doings at those places, which we propose to publish if we hear any more from this "California gift concern." We do denounce it as a swindle in the most emphatic terms, and in doing so we but

echo

the sentiments of those who have been there and observed for themselves. Now, if they want to hear any more, we cau give them the articles referred to above, and an account of the manner in which the poor old woman who did a dollar's worth of washing for them, was relieved of half of her money. That's the way we "remodel" things here.

[Special Dispatches to the Terre Haute Gazette.} LOKDON, Feb. 25.—The Standard has a

telegram from Versailles which announces that a treaty of peace was signed by Thiers and Bismarck. Some- of the details were utiarranged, but all will be settled to-morrow. France pays Germany three hundred and twenty milliou thaler^. Alsace and Lorraine, including the cities of Metz and Nancy, are ceded to Germany.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.—Nothing will be done in respect to the Congressional apportionment at this session. It is understood that an entirely new bill will be prepared by the Committee and introduced early in the next Congress.

Mr. Hooker, Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, will introduce, at the first opportunity, a bill to abolish the tax of 50 cents per gallon on spirits distilled for exportation. The friends of this measure claim that it can pass both Houses.

The soldiers' land bill remains upon the Senate calendar. Its friends are determined to accomplish its passage in some shape. Senator Pomeroy, Chairman of the Committee on Public Lands, appears to be thoroughly opposed to its passage, as do all the subsidy men.

The Commissioners of the General Land Office issued patents to the Union Pacific Railroad Company for six hundred and thirty-nine thousand acres, on their road, and within 200 miles of Omaha.

The New York Bank Note Company has a strong lobby here, endeavoring to get a Government contract for the printing of notes and bonds.

Senator Carpenter, from the judiciary Committee, reported to-day on the subject ofthe relation of the Government to the Pacific Railroad. The opinion of the Committee is adverse to that of the At-torney-General, and maintains the position taken by the Companies, that the United States Government is ooniul to pay for one-half of the services in money, and can only apply the other half on the bonds,

and

that the Companies are only

bound to the performance of Government service, when required, and beyond the performance of such service are not bound to repay the interest until the maturity of the bonds.

It is understood that all of the Committee concur in the report of Mr. Edmunds.

The

report of Senator Stewart is from theCommittee on Pacific Railroad. It recommends no legislation, but expresses the opinion that the advantages are so great that the E isfc will send freight oversaid road as far as practicable to do so.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.—The papers this morning are bitter in their denunciation of the coal swindle, and term it merely a conspiracy of the capitalists to crush the workingmen. The contents of all the coal receptacles in thiscity and Brooklyn combined, give only one ton for every twenty persons at present, and there is no prospect of any more. Grocerymen and small dealers are selling coal to the poor at from 25 to 30 cents per bucketfull, or about $28 per ton—all the result of a conspiracy on the part of the coal monopolists and coal companies.

If the supply is not increased in a day or two, a ton of coal may yet be worth $25 or $30 in this city. Some companies claim, though they have only 200 or 300 tons of coal in their yards that they are willing to sell to the poor at ordinary prices, but generally quite a time elapses between the sale and delivery. There is, no doubt, that the present crisis arises from a determination on the part of the monopolists todestroy the Miners'XJnion in the coal regions. Mining has been actually prevented by the enormous freight charged by railroad companies and these rates will continue until the miners come to terms. In several instances yesterday and early last night disturbances occurred, by freezing men, women and children making raids upon carts transporting coal. The supply in Patterson, Hudson, Newark and other neighboring cities'is almost exhausted.

BOSTON, Feb. 25.—Colonel Whitley, Chief of

the

Secret Service Division has

arrested the ringleaders of a gang of counterfeiters named-Everett Ober, Dedham, Massachusetts John H. Hew, New Salem, New Hampshire, and Jas. McDermott, Manchester, New Hampshire. The two last named are retail dealers and "shovers" while Ober is charged with the graver offense of making bogus money, being a dealer by wholesale. The detective^ have traced his operations throughout Ne\£ England and along the Canada line until they have fastened several heavy transactions upon him.

Besides this were several hundred dollars of counterfeit ten dollar notes ou the West Chester county Bank of New York taken.

CLEVELAND, Feb. 25.—The entire front gable end of the brick school house, corner of Bridge and Kentucky streets, was blown down yesterday morning, reducing that part of the building to a mass of ruins. The school was in session at the time—the scholars numbering between one and two hundred. The panic among the children was frightful, but fortunately none were killed and but two injured. Several minor accidents have occurred during the day, caused by the high wind.

FORT SCOTT, Feb. 25.—A terrific thunder storm, accompanied by violent wind, passed over Baxter Springs, Kansas, last night, which demolished a number of building:- including the unfinished Presbyterian Church and a large two story building the ruins of which subsequently took fire and were destroyed, together with an adjoining store. Total loss, $21,000. No insurance.

WASHINGTON,

The House then took up the bill making appropriations for sundry civil expenses of the Government.

Mr. Brooks, of New York, suggested that the House should begin at the tail end of the bill, because other appropriation bills in the last few days had been passed under suspension of the rules, before the til ends of them had been reached. The bill which is usually designated the "omnibus bill," appropriates $3,358,399.23. Among the items are the following: For the State Department $114,000 Treasury Department $160,000 revenue cutters $200,000 marine hospitals $150,000 national currency and detecting and punishing counterfeiters $200,000 to pay Massachusetts the amount found due, for coast defense $230,000 expenses of United States courts $2,000,000 land office $43,000 expenses of collecting revenue from public land $432 000 metropolitan police, District of Columbia $207,000 Government hospital for the Insane $153,000 Deaf and Dumb institution $46,00:) Columbia Woman's hospital and other charities $82,000 Smithsonian Institute $20,000 Capitol extension work, $100,000 extension of Government printing office $45,000 surveying public lands $510,000 territorial boundary lines and survey, $65,000 expenses of the ninth census, $250,000 pubiic buildings and grounds at Washington, $290,000 Washington aqueduct, $124,000 Rock Island bridge, Itls., $500,000 Rock Island arsenal and armory, $688,000 all other armories and arsenals, $220,000 Freedmen's Bureau, $265,000 signal office, $102 000 for the settlement of accounts of the army disbursing officers, $275,000 military convicts and penitentiaries, $50 000 to indemnify States for war expenses, $600,000 pay for horsesandother property lost in military service, $850,U00- lighthouse expenses, $565,000 coast survey. $665,000 navy yards, $1,435,000 nostoiiice1' and other Government buildnigs, oo, «,000.

The fifth section of the bill appropriates $17,500 for the salary of an Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the German Empire $2,500 for Secretary of Legation, and $1,000 for Assistant Secretary of Lega. tion.

Mr. Wood inquired as to the item of $4,000 for expenses incurred by the United States Legation at Paris, for protecting German subjects in France, and whether the German Government would not reimburse those expenses.

Mr. Dawes replied that the German government had offered to do so, but that our Government thought it would be small business to give in an account on such a matter and preferred to pay the account itself.

Mr. Wood expressed himself satisfied. Various propositions were submitted by Messrs. Wood, Brooks, Cox and Fox, for repeal of the duty on coal, but they were ruled out of order.
